Abstract:
This invention is an optical pickup device having a composite optical element (32) which has a first diffraction grating (45) for splitting a light beam emitted from a light source (31) into zeroth-order light, plus-first-order light and minus-first-order light, a second diffraction grating (46) for diffracting the optical path of a return light beam from an optical disc (2), and a split prism (47) arranged at a position where the minus-first-order light diffracted by the second diffraction grating (46) is incident and adapted for splitting the minus-first-order light into a plurality of light beams. It also has a light receiving unit (35) for acquiring a focusing error signal FE by receiving each return light beam split by the split prism (47) and for acquiring a tracking error signal by receiving return light beams from the optical disc (2) of the plus-first-order light and the minus-first-order light split by the first diffraction grating (45).

Abstract:
A DISK DEVICE FOR MOVING AN ARM (2) WHICH SUPPORTS A HEAD SLIDER (12) AND FOR POSITIONING THE HEAD SLIDER (12) AT A PREDETERMINED POSITION OF A DISK (400, INCLUDES A SUSPENSION (8) FIXED AT ONE END TO THE ARM (2); A FLEXURE (10) WHICH IS PROVIDED IN THE VICINITY OF THE OTHER END OF THE SUSPENSION (8) AND ON WHICH THE HEAD SLIDER (12) IS MOUNTED; A SPHERICAL PROJECTION (16) PROVIDED TO PROJECT TOWARD THE DISK (40) AT THE END BEYOND THE FLEXURE MOUNT POSITION OF THE SUSPENSION (8); A SLANT BASE (20) PROVIDED WITH A SLANT SURFACE HAVING AN INCREASING DISTANCE FROM THE DISK (40) IN ACCORDANCE WITH A RADIAL OUTWARD DISTANCE OF THE DISK (40); AND A DRIVE SOURCE (36) FOR MOVING THE ARM (2) SO THAT THE PROJECTION (16) IS MOVED IN ENGAGEMENT WITH THE SLANT SURFACE (24) IN LOADING AND UNLOADING. (FIG. 1)
Abstract:
AN OPTICAL PICKUP USED IN AN OPTICAL RECORDING AND REPRODUCTION APPARATUS, WHEREIN A WIRING BOARD FORMED WITH THE WIRING PATTERN HAS ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO IT A LIGHT RECEIVING AND EMITTING UNIT PROVIDED WITH A LIGHT EMITTING UNIT AND AN OPTICAL SIGNAL DETECTION UNIT. AT THE SAME TIME, AN OBJECT LENS DRIVING MEANS IS ARRANGED ON THE WIRING BOARD. DUE TO THIS CONFIGURATION, THE ELECTRIC CONNECTION MEMBERS CAN BE REDUCED AND A REDUCTION OF SIZE AND A REDUCTION OF THE THICKNESS OF THE OPTICAL PICKUP CAN BE ACHIEVED.
