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.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for calculating source image coordinates. In an embodiment, a variation rate of the source image coordinate with respect to a converted image coordinate is calculated by a recursive computation, and variation rates are accumulated to obtain the source image coordinate. Because the converted image coordinate sequentially increases one-by-one, the variation rate may be obtained by using adding operations of previously obtained source image coordinate, rather than multiplying operations with the all of the converted image coordinates. Therefore, the source image coordinates may simply and effectively be calculated.
