  • Patent number: 7567486
    Abstract: A slim type optical pick-up actuator is provided. The actuator including: a lens holder provided with an object lens mounted at a predetermined portion thereof, two or more focusing coils received in a receiving groove thereof, a tracking coil disposed on a front surface of the focusing coils, and a tilt coil disposed on a top of the focusing coils, and moving in 3-axis directions; a bipolar magnet disposed facing the coils; two or more unipolar magnets facing the bipolar magnet and having an opposite polarity to the bipolar magnet; a yoke plate having a bent inner yoke, the inner yoke having inner surfaces facing each other, on which the bipolar magnet and the two or more unipolar magnets are respectively attached; and a wire suspension supporting moving of the lens holder and electrically connected to the coils.

  • Patent number: 7280442
    Abstract: An optical type pick-up actuator can include a lens holder having an object lens for condensing a light on an optical disc mounted at one side thereof and activated in a predetermined direction, and a plurality of yokes and magnets facing one another. A focusing coil and a tracking coil can be installed between the plurality of magnets, and disposed in a Y-axis direction to activate the lens holder by an electromagnetic force with the magnets in focusing and tracking directions.

  • Patent number: 6768601
    Abstract: A lens position control unit of an optical pickup device, which is able to reduce the overall size of the device, to reduce the weight of the device, and to simplify the fabrication process by patterning coils for focusing, tracking, and radial tilt driving of a lens on a printed circuit board (PCB), comprises: a lens holder, on which a lens is fixed, disposed on upper part of a suspended yoke plate; suspension wires for supporting the suspension of the lens holder and applying electric power; coil PCBs, on which coils for focusing, tracking, and radial tilt driving of the lens holder are patterned, attached on front and rear parts of the lens holder; and magnets positioned at predetermined intervals from the coil PCBs to drive the lens by interaction with the coil PCBs.
