Abstract
Provided is a lens driving unit for an optical pickup and an optical disc drive employing the lens driving unit. First and second driving coils are directly wound around a coil winding unit included in the lens frame, which is different from a conventional lens frame in which a driving coil is manufactured as a separate element and is separately attached to a lens frame.
Claims16
A lens driving unit comprising:
- a lens frame comprising four side surfaces and an object lens that is disposed on a top surface of the lens frame;
- a pair of first driving coils that are wound around a first side surface of the lens frame;
- a pair of second driving coils that are wound around a third side surface facing the first side surface of the lens frame;
- a plurality of suspension wires which are electrically connected to the pair of first driving coils and the pair of second driving coils;
- a yoke comprising a plurality of magnets fixed thereto which correspond to the first and second driving coils;
- and
- a wire holder to which one side of the yoke and to which the suspension wires are fixed.
