Abstract
A slim optical disc drive which includes a tray having a spindle motor to rotate an optical disc and an optical pickup which slides across the optical disc mounted on the tray, a lower case where the tray is slidably installed, and a main control board installed on the lower case to control operation of the optical disc drive. The lower case includes a first frame which supports one side of the tray, a second frame which supports the other side of the tray, and a third frame formed of a plate member narrower than the first frame and the second frame to connect the first frame and the second frame and disposed under the tray and a main control board.
