TDK developed a more scratch-proof layer for DVDs:
Two years ago TDK, a maker of tape and disc-based recording media, began developing what was initially a single-layer coating to make DVDs more resistant to scuffing. But the new coating is far tougher, and it is transparent to the full spectrum of visible light rather than just a DVD’s red laser, so it can also be used to protect the plastic surface of colour liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
Having seen how fast CDs and DVDs can become all scratched up (even if there are no children involved), I can’t wait until actual discs using this layer make it to the market!
