Optical disc drive having a cable for connecting electric devices

An optical disc drive (ODD) comprising:

• a tray comprising a spindle motor configured to rotate a disc, an optical pickup, and a transfer motor configured to slide the optical pickup in a radial direction of the disc;
• a main frame in which the tray is slidably installed;
• a flexible printed circuit (FPC) connected to at least one of the spindle motor and the transfer motor;
• and
• a flexible flat cable (FFC), comprising signal lines covered by an insulator, a first terminal part connected to the FPC, a second terminal part located on the opposite side of the first terminal part, and one or more exposure parts formed by removing a portion of the insulator between the first and second terminal parts to expose one of the signal lines therethrough.
