  • Patent number: 7369335
    Abstract: An optical pickup actuator includes a bobbin, support members, and a pair of magnetic circuits. An objective lens is mounted on the bobbin. The support members have first ends fixed on sides of the bobbin and second ends fixed to a holder placed on a portion of a base to allow the bobbin to move with respect to the base. The magnetic circuits are installed on two sides of the bobbin and on the base. Each magnetic circuit includes a tracking coil which moves the bobbin in a tracking direction, a plurality of focusing/tilting coils which moves the bobbin in at least one direction of a focusing direction and a tilting direction having a focusing component, and a magnet which faces the focusing/tilting coils and the tracking coil and have a polarized structure to move the bobbin in the tracking direction and at least one direction of the focusing direction and the tilting direction having the focusing component.

  • Patent number: 7228553
    Abstract: An optical pickup actuator includes a; a bobbin in which a through hole is formed, an objective lens attached to the bobbin; a holder provided on the base to support the bobbin; a lens holder inserted in the through hole of the bobbin to support the objective lens, wherein the lens holder is made of a material having a heat conduction coefficient lower than that of the bobbin, a plurality of suspensions, each having one end coupled to the bobbin and the other end attached to a holder provided on a base, to support the bobbin capable of suspending, and a driving unit having a coil installed at the bobbin and a magnet installed on the base to drive the bobbin with an electromagnetic force generated by the interaction of current flowing in the coil and a magnetic field formed by the magnet.

  • Patent number: 7203136
    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.
