Optical disc drive and flexible cable assembly therein

An optical disc drive, comprising:

• a chassis;
• a circuit board disposed on the chassis and having a connector;
• and
• a traverse disposed in the chassis, wherein the traverse comprises:
• a carrier having an opening;
• a pick-up head module movably disposed in the opening and having a connector positioned above a bottom of pick-up head module;
• and
• a spindle motor module disposed on the carrier and located at one side of the pick-up head module, wherein the spindle motor module is used for carrying an optical disc above the pick-up head module;
• and
• a flexible flat cable disposed in the opening and having two connection ends connected to the connector of the pick-up head module and the connector of the circuit board, respectively, wherein a portion of the flexible flat cable other than the connection end connected to the connector of the pick-up head module is fixed to the bottom of the pick-up head module;
• wherein the pick-up head module located at a first position enables the flexible flat cable to have a bending portion, the bending portion protrudes towards a direction opposite to the position of the spindle motor module, the pick-up head module located at a second position extends the bending portion, and the first position is closer to the spindle motor module than the second position is.
