Optical Pickup Device and Method for Manufacturing the Same

A method for manufacturing an optical pickup device comprising:

• a light source;
• an objective lens for focusing light emitted from the light source onto an optical storage medium;
• a tilt adjusting holder to which to secure the objective lens;
• and an objective lens holder to which to glue the tilt adjusting holder, the objective lens holder including:
• adhesive joint sections for securing the tilt adjusting holder to the objective lens holder using a UV light curing adhesive;
• and a seat section on which the tilt adjusting holder abuts,
• the method comprising the steps of:
• providing adhesive anti-overflow pockets between the adhesive joint sections and the seat section, so that the adhesive anti-overflow pockets can receive the UV light curing adhesive when the UV light curing adhesive flows from the adhesive joint sections;
• applying the UV light curing adhesive to the adhesive joint sections of the objective lens holder;
• placing the tilt adjusting holder to which the objective lens has been secured on the seat section of the objective lens holder;
• performing tilt adjustment for the tilt adjusting holder placed on the seat section of the objective lens holder;
• and
• applying UV light onto the adhesive joint sections and the adhesive anti-overflow pockets of the objective lens holder.
