Optical disk driving device having a clamper for correcting warpage of an optical disk

摘要

For providing an optical disk driving device that is capable of accurately performing recording and reproduction of even disks that include warpage without the provision of a tilt mechanism, a clamper is comprised of a central clamper portion for pinching and holding a disk between the clamper and a turntable, and an outer clamper portion for abutting against an outer periphery of the disk and pressurizing the same in case the disk includes any warpage to thereby correct the warpage. It is accordingly possible to restrict an angle formed between a light beam and an information surface of the disk to be within a specified value for accurately performing reproduction.
