Optical pickup for reproducing data on a disk.

摘要

An optical pickup has a suspension base (13), a holder (16) suspended from the suspension base (13) by wires (14) in a form of a cantilever, an optical system (16a) provided in the holder (16) and having a mirror (16c) and an objective (16d) mounted in a body (16f), and a flexible wiring plate (17) connected between the holder (16) and the suspension base (13). Effective length of the flexible wiring plate (17) for focusing is approximately equal to suspension effective length of the wire (14). The flexible wiring plate (17) comprises a pair of horizontal planes perpendicular to focusing direction and a vertical plane perpendicular to tracking direction provided between the horizontal planes. <IMAGE>
