OPTICAL PICK-UP DEVICE

摘要

An optical pick-up device comprising at least one micromirror array lens. The micromirror array lens enables focusing, tracking, and/or tilt compensation in the optical pick-up device without macroscopic motions. The micromirror array lens provides the device with a simple structure, which can reduce the size, weight, and cost of the recording/reproducing system. The device is also durable for vibration. Optical pick-up devices using an array of micromirror array lenses can increase the recording/reading speed without macroscopic motions. The recording/reading speed can be increased by adding more micromirror array lenses to the lens array. The present invention can also be used to record/read information on/from a multi-layered optical disc.
