Optical pickup device with movable objective lens and stationary focusing and tracking coils

摘要

An objective lens drive device has a supporting member to which an objective lens is attached. The supporting member is freely translated in a direction parallel to the optical axis of the objective lens and in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis. The supporting member is attached a stationary portion, and a magnetic circuit provided on the supporting member forms a closed magnetic path. A focusing coil and a plurality of tracking coils attached to the focusing coil drive the objective lens in cooperation with the magnetic circuit so that the objective lens is translated in the direction parallel to the optical axis and in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis. The focusing coil and the tracking coils are mounted on the stationary portion so as to oppose the magnetic circuit with a predetermined spacing therebetween.
