  • Publication number: 20100165820
    Abstract: An optical pickup apparatus including a motor, a rotary member connected to the motor, the rotary member having a movement part and a stop part, a lead member disposed on the rotary member such that the lead member moves along the movement part and stops at the stop part, and a lens connected to the lead member to correct an aberration. The motor to correct a spherical aberration of the optical pickup apparatus is used instead of a sensor to sense the position of the collimator lens during the movement of the collimator lens, thereby reducing costs. The collimator lens may be controlled by sensing the reference position of the collimator lens to correct a spherical aberration of an optical disc, thereby preventing damage to optical components due to malfunction of the collimator lens.

  • Patent number: 7643386
    Abstract: An optical pickup actuator comprises a lens holder having an object lens which focuses a laser beam onto an optical information storage medium mounted thereon. In the optical pickup actuator the lens holder is movably supported by a support member with respect to a base. The optical pickup actuator also comprises a magnetic circuit to drive the lens holder in a focusing direction and a tilt direction independently.
