Optical disk device

Abstract

Disclosed is an optical disk device, which has: an optical disk; an optical head for writing or reading out information on or from the optical disk; a tilt sensor for detecting an inclination of an information recording surface of the optical disk; a head holding member for holding the optical head and the tilt sensor; a guide rail for guiding the head holding member to move in the direction of a radius of the optical disk; a seek mechanism for giving a reciprocative movement force in the direction of the radius of the optical disk to the head holding member; and a tilt mechanism for adjusting an inclination of the head holding member to the optical disk on information obtained from the tilt sensor; wherein the optical head and the tilt sensor are disposed on the head holding member and are opposite to each other while sandwiching the optical disk with respective predetermined clearances from the optical disk.
