PICKUP DEVICE AND RECORDING MEDIUM DRIVE DEVICE

摘要

A lens holder (6) has a holder body (11) that holds a movable lens (5) and has a guide section (12) and a slide member (13) that guide shafts (7, 8). A drive mechanism (10) is placed between one (7) of the guide shafts (7, 8) and the other guide shaft (8), and the holder body (11) is placed on the opposite side of the one guide shaft (7) from the drive mechanism (10). As a result, the drive mechanism (10) and the guide shafts (7, 8) are separated from fixed optical parts (4) to achieve freedom of layout of a pickup device (1).
