Abstract: An optical pickup in which the position of a magnet can be adjusted with respect to a yoke is provided. The optical pickup has an objective lens, a lens holder that holds the objective lens, a magnet disposed opposite to a side surface of the lens holder, and a yoke to the inside of which the magnet is attached. The yoke has an opening at least near the bottom of the magnet, through which the magnet can be visually observed from the outside of the yoke, the bottom being on the side of the yoke that is farther from an optical disc and the top being on the side of the yoke that is closer to the optical disc along the optical axis of the objective lens.

Abstract: An object lens drive unit in which an undesired displacement or inclination of an object lens with respect to an optical disc is reduced. The position at which a lens holder for the object lens is supported by a pair of rod-shaped elastic support members in the focusing direction substantially coincides with the center of the tracking coil in the focusing direction.

Abstract: In an object lens actuator, stiffness of a lens holder is improved and the higher order resonance frequency is sufficiently increased. The stiffness of the lens holder is improved by providing a flat plate perpendicular to the focusing direction between the side wall of a lens holding part and the outer sidewall along the tracking direction at approximately the middle of both ends of the lens holder along the focusing direction.

Abstract: This invention aims at reducing a rolling moment generated in coils mounted to lens holder side face without losing drive forces in a focusing direction and tracking direction in an objective lens drive means of an optical pickup device. By shifting a coil line portion near the objective lens of two coil line portions substantially parallel to the tracking direction of the first coil in a direction departing from a lens optical axis, increase and decrease in drive forces generated in right and left first coils when the lens holder is moved in the tracking direction cancel each other so as to eliminate imbalance between the right and left drive forces.

Abstract: It is an object of this invention to increase the rigidity of a movable part and decrease its weight. An objective lens driving apparatus has an objective lens which focuses light on the recording surface of an optical disk. The objective lens is driven by focusing coils in directions approaching and receding from the optical disk and is driven by tracking coils in the radial direction of the optical disk. The objective lens is held by a lens holder. A projecting part projecting outward from the outer side surfaces of the lens holder is formed around the entire peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the lens holder.

Abstract: The invention provides an objective lens driving apparatus in which an efficiency of a magnetic circuit is improved by making a magnetic flux density distribution of the objective lens driving apparatus close to symmetrical. An objective lens driving apparatus has an objective lens, a tracking coil driving the objective lens in a tracking direction, a focusing coil driving the objective lens in a focusing direction, and a yoke arranged so as to oppose to the tracking coil and having a permanent magnet attached thereto. The yoke has a bottom plate portion and an outer yoke bent approximately perpendicularly to the bottom plate portion from an outer edge portion of the bottom plate portion, has a first yoke having an opening formed in a center portion thereof, and a second yoke having a bottom plate portion and an inner yoke bent approximately perpendicularly to the bottom plate portion from an inner edge portion of the bottom plate portion, and having an opening formed in a center portion thereof.
