    摘要: A reflection type compound prism and an optical pickup apparatus employing the same. As a light beam is passed through the compound prism, a size of the light beam in a direction perpendicular to a reference plane is reduced by a first reflection surface, propagated toward an objective lens by second and third reflection surfaces and the size restored by reflecting the light beam from a fourth reflection surface forming an angle less than 45° with respect to the reference plane so that a height of an optical system is reducible to obtain a small thin optical pickup with a desired NA. The second and third reflection surfaces are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the reference plane by an amount close to a diameter of the light beam at a point of incidence of the light beam with the compound prism.

    摘要: A front projection type screen includes a transparent base; a diffusion member formed on one surface of the transparent base; and a retroreflection prism array formed on another surface of the transparent base. Thus, a wide angle of visibility can be secured in a horizontal direction while an angle of visibility in a vertical direction is limited to a narrow scope. Also, a wide viewing angle can be achieved and high efficiency and brightness of light may be obtained.

    摘要: A swing-arm type optical recording and reproducing apparatus and an optical disk applicable to the same. The optical disk includes a substrate having an information recording surface to record and reproduce an information signal, and a protective layer which is provided on the information recording surface and whose surface facing a slider is a flat even surface so that variations in a floating height of the slider can be reduced. The optical recording and reproducing apparatus further includes, an optical head having a light source provided at a swing arm to emit light of a predetermined wavelength; an optical path changing means provided in the optical path of the light emitted from the light source for changing the proceeding path of incident light; a collimating lens installed at the slider to preliminarily converge the light emitted from the light source and entering via the optical path changing means; an objective lens installed at the slider to converge the light which is emitted from the light source and enters via the optical path changing means to form an optical spot on the optical disk; and a photodetector to receive the light which is reflected from the optical disk and enters via the objective lens, the collimating lens, and the optical path changing means. The optical head detects an information signal and an error signal in order to reduce defocus due to variations in ambient temperature and variations in the wavelength of the light of the light source.

    摘要: An optical pickup apparatus having an objective lens which is formed of a single lens such that the maximum slope angle of a surface of the lens is less than 55° with respect to a high NA of 0.7 or more. The objective lens can be manufactured to satisfy a condition of allowance in optical aberration and have a high NA of 0.7 or more unlike a typical objective lens formed of a single lens. Also, the optical pickup apparatus adopting the objective lens can be used for high density recording and reproduction and provide a reduced volume, a simple structure, and/or a low price. Also, since the optical pickup apparatus adopting the objective lens has a very short working distance, the first reflection surface recording method can be adopted. Accordingly, the thickness of the optical pickup apparatus can be manufactured as thin as a protective layer of a typical recording medium.

The objective lens includes a first transmitting portion placed at a relatively near-axis region from the optical axis to divergently transmit an incident light beam; a first reflecting portion to divergently reflect the incident light beam, the first reflecting portion faces the first transmitting portion; a second reflecting portion, formed at a relatively far-axis region around the first transmitting portion that focuses and reflects the light reflected from the first reflecting portion; and a second transmitting portion, formed at a relatively far-axis region around the first reflecting portion, that refracts and transmits the light beam focused by the second reflecting portion as a peripheral light beam, wherein the maximum angle &agr; between the optical axis and the peripheral light beam satisfies the condition of 30° ≦&agr;≦65°. The optical pickup further includes the previously mentioned objective lens as a second objective lens, which is optionally placed into the optical path between a first objective lens and an optical medium. As a result, the NA of the objective lens unit can be increased up to 0.85 while the working distance d2 is maintained to be 0.2 mm.
