Focus control apparatus in a reading apparatus for reading a multi-layered disk having information recorded on a plurality of recording surfaces thereof. The focus control apparatus includes a signal generating system for generating an acceleration signal for forcing the objective lens to move in the optical axis direction of the light beam and a deceleration signal for braking the objective lens which has been forced to move. The apparatus further includes control circuit for supplying a lens driving system with the acceleration signal and the deceleration signal as the driving signal in response to a switching instruction for switching a recording surface from which information is to be read, and for supplying the driving system with the focus error signal as the driving signal after the generation of the deceleration signal, to focus the light beam on a target recording surface. The deceleration signal has a parameter which is a function of distance between the recording surface which has been read before the switching instruction is issued and the target recording surface. Preferably, either of the acceleration signal and the deceleration signal is a signal which is compensated for the influence of gravity acting on the objective lens.

The present invention is to provide an improved aberration correction device formed by inserting an electro-optic panel such as a liquid crystal panel in an image-formation optical system to correct aberrations in the image-formation optical system, characterized in that such a correction device is capable of correcting three or more kinds of aberrations using only one electro-optic panel.Divided areas concerning coma aberration correction and divided areas concerning astigmatism correction are formed in one of the transparent electrodes of the electro-optic panel, while the rest of divided areas concerning coma aberration correction and divided areas concerning spherical aberration correction are formed in the other of the transparent electrodes. In this way, it is possible to form divided areas divided into electrode patterns suitable for correcting various aberrations, simplify as much as possible the electrode structure of the transparent electrodes consisting of the divided areas, thereby simplifying a control of voltages to be applied to the divided areas.
