An optical pickup device which is efficient in light use having little spherical aberration. The optical pickup device of an optical pickup includes an objective lens, disposed opposite a disk, having a light passing region divided into central, intermediate and periphery regions corresponding to a near axis area, an intermediate axis area and a far axis area of incident light, where the curvature of the central and peripheral regions is optimized for a thin disk and that of the intermediate region is optimized for a thick disk; a light source irradiating light toward a disk through the objective lens; a photo detector for detecting light reflected from the disk; and a beam splitter, disposed between the objective lens and the light source, for transmitting light from the light source toward the objective lens and for diffracting light reflected from the disks toward the photo detector. Therefore, the optical pickup device can be used for both compact disks (CDs) that are thick using light beam passing the near and intermediate regions of said objective lens, and digital video disks (DVDs) that are thin using light beam passing the near and far axis regions of said objective lens, and detect signals without picking up noise regardless of the thickness of the disk.
