摘要:
A disk player has a guide member for guiding an optical pickup carrier along both sides of a double-sided disk. In order to prevent interference between the pickup carrier and the periphery of the disk during turning movement of the pickup carrier around the periphery of the disk from one of the upper and lower sides of the disk to the other side, the guide member is shaped like a horseshoe. The guide member includes upper and lower straight sections for guiding the pickup carrier, respectively, along the upper and lower sides of the disc, and an arched section extending vertically around the periphery of the disk and connecting the outer ends of the upper and lower straight sections. The upper and lower straight sections are not parallel to each other, but rather they are inclined in such a fanlike manner that the outer ends are wider apart.

A skew of an optical pickup device can be adjusted by a movable-side member itself which holds thereon an objective lens. A holder which holds an objective lens is supported by four spring wires such that it can be moved in the focusing direction and the tracking direction of an optical disk. A center of a magnetic circuit which drives the holder is shifted in the outer peripheral side relative to the optical disk. Elastic force of the spring wires of the inner peripheral side is suppressed by increasing the amount of a gel material bonded to the spring wires located on the inner peripheral side of the optical disk as a damping material as compared with the amount of the gel material bonded to the spring wires located on the outer peripheral side. Thus, the holder can be driven by a predetermined inclination in the focusing direction such that the optical axis of the objective lens becomes substantially perpendicular to the signal recording surface of the optical disk in response to the focus height changed due to the skew of the optical disk.

An objective lens having at least two regions of different numerical apertures is configured for focusing a light beam through the regions of the different numerical apertures on two different signal recording surfaces of at least two optical discs having light transmitting layers of different thicknesses. Since the objective lens is integrally formed by at least two lens portions, a light beam outgoing from a common light source is focused on signal recording surfaces of at least two optical discs having the light transmitting layers of different thicknesses.
