What is the meaning of lightscribe?

Lightscribe is a special technology used for labeling CDs and DVDs. With Lightscribe-capable drives and special discs, you can burn a monochromatic picture or label on the disc label. You cannot use the labeling feature in a non-Lightscribe drive, or on a disc without the photosensitive label. However, the discs can be burned in non-Lightscribe drives as well, and regular discs can be used in a Lightscribe drive.
