An optical disk of a system wherein a recording layer is to be irradiated
throughout a thin film cover layer with a laser beam, wherein a hard coat
layer (W) is formed on the thin film cover layer, and the hard coat layer
(W) is made of a cured product of coating composition (X) comprising a
polyfunctional compound (A) having at least two active energy ray curable
polymerizable functional groups, a water and oil repellency-imparting
agent (B), an active energy ray polymerization initiator (C) and a
colloidal silica (D) having an average particle size of from 1 to 200 nm,
provided that the water and oil repellency-imparting agent (B) is a water
and oil repellency-imparting agent (B-T) having, in one molecule, a
moiety (b-1) excellent in compatibility with the polyfunctional compound
(A) and an active energy ray curable functional group (b-3). In the
optical disk of the present invention, the hard coat layer formed of the
surface of the thin film cover layer is excellent is abrasion resistance,
transparency and long-term sebum stain proofness, particularly
removability of fingerprints attached to its surface.
