Publication number: 20060275032Abstract: An actuator for a mobile terminal using suspension wires is disclosed. By using an actuator for a mobile terminal comprising a holder, magnets mounted inside the holder, a coil mounted inside the holder and positioned on the inside of the magnets, a bobbin joined with the coil and having a lens in its center, and suspension wires, the ends of which are joined to the holder, bent at a particular angle to elastically press the bobbin, the manufacturing process may be simplified and the manufacturing cost may be reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2006Publication date: December 7, 2006Applicant: SAMSUNG ELECTRO-MECHANICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Goo Hong, Sung-Hoon Kim, Jang-Young Im

Publication number: 20050195702Abstract: Disclosed herein are a yoke plate for optical pick-up actuators, a combination structure of a suspension PCB and a yoke plate, and an optical pick-up actuator comprising the structure. The yoke plate comprises a rear yoke at the distal end of one side of the yoke plate, and the rear yoke has damping-gel fillers for attenuating a partial resonance of the suspension wires. The yoke plate is simplified in construction by supporting the suspension PCB using the rear yoke instead of a conventional wire holder, so that assembly process can be simplified and the manufacturing costs can be reduced. The suspension PCB is combined with the yoke plate by bonding or soldering instead of screw fastening, so that the suspension PCB can be combined with the yoke plate without displacement or distortion. The optical pick-up actuator with the combination structure can be provided by a simplified assembly process and reduced manufacturing costs.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2004Publication date: September 8, 2005Inventors: Goo Hong, Jang-Young Im, Do-Sun Nam
