Optical disc drive

An optical disc drive comprising:

• a case having a circuit board;
• a tray to have an optical disc mounted thereon, and installed in the case and slidable in and out of the case;
• a main base coupled to the tray, the main base comprising a spindle motor to rotate the optical disc, a bracket to support the spindle motor, an optical pickup to record data on the optical disc and reproduce data while sliding across the optical disc and a driving motor to drive the optical pickup;
• a flexible printed circuit electrically connecting the circuit board and the tray, wherein a ground pattern is formed on an end portion of the flexible printed circuit and a portion of the ground pattern is exposed outwardly to ground static electricity;
• and
• a base cover coupled to the main base and coated with an insulation layer to protect the main base,
• wherein a contact portion of the base cover is bent toward the portion of the ground pattern and a cut surface of the contact portion is not coated with the insulation layer to allow electricity to flow from the contact portion to the portion of the ground pattern.
