A wearable device that may transform between an annularly bent state and a flat state is provided. The wearable device includes a plurality of segment members including a top portion and a bottom portion having a shorter length than the top portion; a plurality of connecting members that are disposed to correspond to the plurality of segment members, wherein each of the plurality of connecting members is connected to be mutually rotatable with two segment members disposed respectively on both sides thereof; a bistable spring that is supported on a plurality of segment members to provide elasticity in a direction into the annularly bent state and retentivity of the flat state; and a flexible display device that is supported on the top portion of the plurality of segment members.

Wearable device

A tray mechanism and a disk drive employing the tray mechanism. The tray mechanism includes a driving member rotatably coupled to a spindle motor; a pinion meshed with a rack provided at a surface of a tray to load the tray onto and unload the tray from a main frame; a pivotable plate pivotally provided at a shaft of the driving member, and having a connector which couples the driving member and the rack; and a limiting member provided on the main frame for limiting a pivotal range of the pivotable plate.

Tray mechanism for disk drive and disk drive using the same

A damper and a disk drive using the clamper. The damper includes a body, a movable member inserted into a guide portion protruding from a center of the body so that the movable member is moved up and down along the guide portion, and having a plurality of opposed bosses, an elastic member, inserted into the guide portion under the movable member, for elastically biasing the movable member upward, and a stationary member, installed on an upper portion of the guide portion, for preventing the movable member from being released from the guide portion.

Clamper and disk drive with the same

An optical disc drive including a clamping mechanism, which faces a turntable, supports a surface of a disc, and is rotated. The clamping mechanism includes a clamper, which has access to the disc by a magnetic force when a spindle motor has access to the disc so that the disc is not deviated from a mounting portion when clamping is not completely performed, and a return member, which allows the clamper to be spaced apart from the disc as the spindle motor is spaced apart from the disc.

Optical disc drive

An optical disc drive includes a main body at which a spindle motor is installed. A tray installed at the main body is loadable/unloadable into/from the main body, and a disc holder is rotatable by the spindle motor when the tray is in a loaded position, and is joinable to a clamping hole of a disc so as to fix the disc.
