Objective lens actuator and optical pickup device

摘要

A first objective lens 38 and a second objective lens 48 which are formed as separate bodies each other are held side by side by a lens holder. The lens holder includes a first lens receiving surface to receive a lower surface of peripheral portion of the first objective lens, and a second lens receiving surface to receive a lower surface of peripheral portion of the second objective lens. The first lens receiving surface and the second lens receiving surface are formed to be coplanar. By this arrangement an optical axis of the first objective lens 38 and an optical axis of the second objective lens 48 become parallel to each other at the same time when the first objective lens 38 is installed on the first lens receiving surface and when the second objective lens 48 is installed on the second lens receiving surface, a relative tilt is automatically solved. By a simple structure of the lens holder the relative tilt between the first objective lens 38 and the second objective lens 48 can be reduced as above described. Further, because of above described structure of the lens holder if one of the objective lenses is a commercial product, a commercial product can be easily utilized.
