PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simultaneously correct the third-order components and fifth-order components of spherical aberration generated due to differences (including difference errors) in thickness of a cover layer to excellently correct aberration even in an optical system in which high-order aberration occurs. SOLUTION: An objective lens 3 is provided, which condenses light on the recording surface of an optical recording medium and is used in an optical pickup device which makes recording and/or reproduction. The third-order and fifth-order spherical aberrations, which occur due to differences (thickness errors inclusive) in thickness of the cover layer 11 of an optical recording medium 10, are defined as SA3(C) and SA5(C), respectively, and the third-order and fifth-order spherical aberrations, which occur due to the magnification aberration of the objective lens, are defined as SA3(L) and SA5(L), respectively. When the third-order spherical aberration SA3(C) of the cover part of the optical recording medium is completely corrected with the third-order spherical aberration SA3(L) which occurs due to the magnification aberration of the objective lens, the objective lens 3 is formed so that a conditional expression -0.035 COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To switch a wide angle region into/from an original focal-length region, without having to remove a wide converter. SOLUTION: The wide converter 30 has a function to displace the focal length to a wide-angle side, and a liquid lens is used as one or more lenses 12 and 22 out of lenses constituting the wide converter 30. Either surfaces 3 and 6 of the liquid lenses 12 and 22 are constituted of a deformed film having light transmittance, and liquid inside the liquid lens is made variable so that the focal length may be varied.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce drive voltage which causes the change of the contact angle of a liquid material part by an electro wetting phenomenon. SOLUTION: The electro wetting device is equipped with the liquid material parts 4a and 4b having conductivity or polarity, and an electrode 1 applying voltage to the liquid material parts 4a and 4b while making a dielectric layer lie in between. The dielectric layer is composed as an anodic oxidation part 2 composed of metallic oxide formed by anodizing an electrode. Thus, film thickness is made thin; a dielectric constant is made high and the drive voltage is reduced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correct the wave surface aberration caused by various errors when manufacturing an optical element, while suppressing the loss of light from the light source as much as possible, and correct especially the aberration due to thickness errors, slope errors of an optical recording medium. SOLUTION: This liquid crystal element 3 has a light source 1, an objective lens 2 to condense the light flux from the light source 1 to irradiate the signal recording surface 101a of an optical recording medium 101, and a liquid crystal element 3 which has a front and a rear flat surface and is disposed in an optical path between the light sources 1, and the objective lens 2 to give a predetermined phase distribution to the transmitted light. It is built by sandwiching a liquid crystal molecule layer with a pair of transparent base plates whose sides facing the liquid crystal molecule layer are formed making the thickness distribution of the liquid crystal molecule layer similar to the phase distribution caused by the predetermined aberration.

PURPOSE: To surely perform tracking control, focusing control, etc., by providing a member for shielding beams reflected on a non-focused information signal layer. CONSTITUTION: This device 1 is provided with a light shielding plate 11 having a pin hole 11A. Then, a photodetector 13 receives surely only the beams reflected the non-focused information signal layer of a double-layered optical disk 5. On the other hand, the stray beams of the beams reflected the non- focused information signal layer of the disk 5 are shielded surely. Thus, at the time of reading and reproducing the information signal, the photodetector 13 is not affected adversely by the stray beams of the beams reflected on the information signal layer of the disk 5 to which an objective lens 9 is not focused.
