  • Patent number: 6721110
    Abstract: An optical pickup actuator includes a bobbin. At least one focus coil and at least one track coil are arranged at both sides of the bobbin to secure the remaining sides of the bobbin. The optical pickup actuator can drive an optical pickup in a focus direction, a track direction, and a tilt direction. The focus coil is also used as the tilt coil. An optical pickup actuator is driven by arranging a bobbin on a base of the optical pickup actuator so as to be moved by support members, installing at least one focus and tilt coil to drive the bobbin in focus and tilt directions and at least one track coil to drive the bobbin in a track direction at opposite side surfaces of the bobbin, arranging magnets to face corresponding sides of the opposite side surfaces of the bobbin, and dividing the focus and tilt coils into at least two sets of coils and applying an input signal to each of the sets.

  • Publication number: 20040066730
    Abstract: Provided is an optical pickup actuator including a blade, a plurality of wires, coils, magnets, and connectors. The blade has an objective lens. The plurality of wires support the blade so that the blade moves around a predetermined holder. The coils are installed on the blade. The magnets interact with a current flowing through the coils to generate an electromagnetic force. The connectors electrically connect the wires and the coils so that a power supply supplies a current to the coils via the wires. The connectors include conductive plating terminals that are connected to the coils and installed on the body of the blade so that ends of the wires are connected to the connectors.

  • Publication number: 20040062183
    Abstract: An optical pickup having a blade including a first blade in which an objective lens is mounted and which is made of a reinforced plastics material, and a second blade in which driving coils are mounted and which is made of a magnesium alloy material. Since the first blade has a low thermal conductivity coefficient, the heat generated in the coils is prevented from being transferred to the objective lens, whereas the second blade having a high thermal conductivity coefficient radiates the heat generated by the coils to the outside. Thus, the heat distortion of the objective lens can be suppressed, and damages to the coils or rigidity reduction of the blade can be avoided.

  • Publication number: 20030161227
    Abstract: An optical pickup actuator and an optical recording and/or reproducing apparatus using the same. The optical pickup actuator includes a base having a holder positioned at one side of the base, a blade having an objective lens mounted at one side of the blade and a guide groove, a magnetic driving portion which includes at least one fine pattern coil installed across the guide groove, magnets arranged to be embedded in the guide groove opposite to each other at both sides of the FPC, and elastic supporting members having one end coupled to the holder such that the blade is movably supported.
