An optical disk of a system wherein a recording layer is to be irradiated
with a laser beam through a thin film cover layer, wherein on the surface
of the thin film cover layer, a hard coat layer is formed which is made
of a cured product of an active energy ray curable composition comprising
a polymerizable monomer (A), a colloidal silica (B), a
lubricity-imparting agent (C) and an active energy ray polymerization
initiator (D), as components. The lubricity-imparting agent (C) contains
a lubricity-imparting agent (C-T) having, in one molecule, a moiety (c-1)
exerting lubricity, a moiety (c-2) excellent in compatibility with the
polymerizable monomer and an active energy ray curable functional group
(c-3). In the optical disk of the present invention, the hard coat layer
formed on the surface of the thin film cover layer is excellent in
abrasion resistance, transparency and long-term surface lubricity.
