An optical disc standard for video recording that became popular in the early 1990s. Up to two hours of video and audio can be recorded on both sides of a 30cm diameter optical disc, and this is read out using a laser, hence the name. Video is recorded by modulating the transmitted video signal using the direct FM method, and audio is recorded as a digital audio signal, just like a CD. A disc has a front and a back, and at some point in the middle of recording the disc needs to be flipped over and reinserted, but some playback devices can shine a laser on both the front and back, allowing you to play the disc without having to worry about switching from the front to the back. Philips, a Dutch company also known for developing the CD, developed and announced it in 1977. It attracted attention in the late 1980s as a digital medium that could replace VHS video. Unlike conventional VHS video, there was no contact with the recording surface, and it was said that the video could be preserved semi-permanently. The decline of LaserDisc accelerated in the late 1990s when cheaper, smaller DVDs became popular and Pioneer stopped producing LaserDisc players in the spring of 2009.

1990年代前半に普及した映像記録のための光ディスク規格。直径30cmの光ディスクの両面に最大2時間の映像と音声が記録でき、これをレーザーを使って読み出すことからこの名前が付いている。映像は伝送される映像信号をダイレクトFM方式で変調して記録、音声はCDと同じくデジタルオーディオ信号を記録する。 ディスクには表面と裏面があって、記録された映像の途中で一度、表と裏をひっくり返して挿入し直す必要があるが、再生機によっては表裏の両方からレーザーを当てることで、表面から裏面の切り替えを意識せずに再生できるものもある。 CDの開発でも知られるオランダのフィリップス社が77年に開発・発表した。80年代後半からVHSビデオにとってかわるデジタル媒体として注目された。従来のVHSビデオと違って記録面との接触がなく、半永久的に映像が残せるとされていた。 90年代後半に、より低価格でサイズも小さいDVDが普及し、2009年春にパイオニア社がプレーヤーの生産を終了することで、レーザーディスクの衰退は加速することとなった。 (鍵本聡 ライター / 2009年) LD「半導体レーザー」のページをご覧ください。 LD「学習障害」のページをご覧ください。 出典 (株)朝日新聞出版発行「知恵蔵」知恵蔵について 情報 |
