| 20110299378 | Optical Pickup Having Radially Arranged Lenses in a Low Profile Construction - An optical pickup includes a first source which emits a first beam with a first wavelength; a second source which emits a second beam with a wavelength shorter than the first wavelength; a first collimate lens which collimates the first beam; a second collimate lens which collimates the second beam; a first objective lens which converges the first collimated beam onto an optical disc; and a second objective lens which converges the second collimated beam onto the disc. The first and second objective lenses are arranged in the disc radial direction. The second objective lens is arranged closer to the side of the disc outer circumference than the first objective lens. The first collimate lens is arranged on the right-hand side when the second objective lens is viewed from the first objective lens. The second collimate lens is arranged on the left-hand side when the first objective lens is viewed from the second objective lens. The gap between the first collimate lens and the first objective lens is larger than the gap between the second collimate lens and the second objective lens. | 12-08-2011 |

| 20100162281 | OPTICAL PICKUP DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - To provide an optical pickup device adapted such that for adhesion fixing of a holder for holding an LD or a light-receiving element to an optical pickup casing via an ultraviolet-curable adhesive, curing shrinkage during ultraviolet irradiation can be reduced and adhesion fixing achieved with high positioning accuracy. In a structure for adhesion fixing of a holder for holding an LD or a light-receiving element to an optical pickup casing via an ultraviolet-curable adhesive, since protrusions are provided at peripheral sections (UV irradiation light source side) on a bonding surface of the holder, a section exposed to strong UV light is first cured, then after the adhesive has moved from an uncured section, the amount of shrinkage of the first cured section in a Z-direction is reduced, and the uncured section is cured. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100124161 | OPTICAL PICKUP AND OPTICAL INFORMATION REPRODUCING DEVICE - An optical pickup and an optical information recording and reproducing device in which spherical aberration correction control after a disc is loaded can be efficiently made in a short time. Before an information recording medium is loaded into a drive, an optical axis direction position of a concave lens is preset to a state so as to optimize a converging spot on a recording surface of a single-layered medium of as a first recording medium or a predetermined layer (first layer having a substrate thickness of 0.1 mm) of a medium having two or more layers to which the recording/reproduction is executed by a laser light source. After the information recording medium is loaded, if it is determined to be a second (third) recording medium to which the recording/reproduction is executed by a laser light source, setting of the optical axis direction position of the concave lens is changed. | 05-20-2010 |
