摘要:
A process for fabricating a mold for an aspherical microlens having a desired aspherical and smooth surface, the lens having an effective diameter of 1 mm or smaller and a thickness of 0.5 mm or greater. A double-layer mask layer is formed on a single crystal silicon substrate, and anisotropic etching and isotropic etching are carried out using a first mask layer so as to form a concave portion that is a little smaller than the size of a desired microlens mold. Isotropic etching is then carried out using a second mask layer so as to enlarge the concave portion, thereby obtaining a microlens mold having desired dimensions.

A small-sized optical disc drive includes one voice coil motor magnet within which a tracking coil and two focusing coils are disposed such that the tracking coil straddles the two poles of permanent magnets that are adjacently disposed. The two focusing coils are disposed on either side of the tracking coil, with each of the two focusing coils being only disposed over one of the permanent magnets.

There is provided a compact optical disc apparatus having a small footprint actuator. A tracking coil of a swing arm-type actuator is disposed substantially perpendicular to an arm and on the opposite side to an optical disc loading slot with respect to the line connecting the center of rotation of the optical disc to the center of swing movement of the actuator. A pair of permanent magnets are disposed such that they face the tracking coil and they are opposite in polarity. The tracking coil is disposed on both the permanent magnets such that the tracking coil straddles the boundary of the pair of permanent magnets.

A head support mechanism includes a head to write/read information, and a head support member to support the head. The head support member has parts delimiting an opening at a portion thereof in which opposing parts which delimit the opening in a width direction of the head support member are elastically deformable. Protrusions are formed on edges of the opening, and piezoelectric elements are mounted on the protrusions to enable deforming of the head support member in a direction of positioning of the head.

In a magnetic head supporting apparatus having a second actuator for fine movement in addition to a first actuator having a voice coil motor for coarse movement, the second actuator is fixed so as to bridge the upper surface of a suspension and the upper surface of a suspension supporting member to support the suspension, and the second actuator is a plate-shaped structure which has two polarization regions separated by a non-polarized region and is formed by laminating piezoelectric flat plates in which the polarizing directions and the directions of electric fields to be applied are thickness directions. Thus, a magnetic disk apparatus which can be driven by a low voltage, a displacement in the vertical direction of the suspension is small, a productivity is high, and a recording density is high can be realized.

Embodiments of the invention limit a pitch attitude angle of a magnetic head slider during loading without allowing gimbal stiffness of a flexure in an ordinary flying state to be increased. In one embodiment, a limiter formed by part of a flexure is disposed so as to provide a clearance from a lift tab formed by part of a load beam. A limiter clearance, if the clearance between the limiter and the lift tab is so called for convenience sake, must be maintained as a physical clearance when a magnetic head slider is in an ordinary flying state. The lift tab and the limiter are disposed on a side of an air inflow end of the magnetic head slider. The limiter clearance during unloading is thereby made small so as to allow proper and positive unloading operation. In addition, the limiter clearance made small during loading allows the absolute value of a pitch attitude angle of the magnetic head slider to be limited to a small one if the pitch attitude angle tends to become negative due to disturbances or vibration from the loading operation itself.

A head assembly for a data storage device. The head assembly has a suspension. The head assembly also includes a contact pad coupled to the suspension. The head assembly also includes a slider. The slider is coupled to the suspension at the slider mounting point. The slider mounting point is at least partially bounded by polyimide standoffs. The polyimide standoffs are positioned and sized to provide an adhesive pocket with an increased area.

To strengthen a flying lead portion of a long-tail flexible printed circuit (FPC) integrally formed with a flexure, stacked support portions of resin layers on both sides of a flying lead 7 of a long-tail FPC 6 are reinforced with metal frames 14. A fold-back portion 9 of the long-tail FPC 6 is folded back at 90 degrees so that flying lead 7 is disposed parallel with a turning shaft 21 of a carriage 20. The flying lead is then joined to a connection pad 26 on a main FPC board 24 using solder 18.

The slider is coupled to the suspension at the slider mounting point. The slider mounting point is at least partially bounded by polyimide standoffs. The polyimide standoff closest to the contact pad is positioned to reduce the effect of the solder shrinkage moment.
