Provided is a tilt adjusting apparatus of an optical disc drive for adjusting a tilt of an optical pickup unit. The tilt adjusting apparatus includes an optical pickup unit moving in a radial direction of the disc, along first and second guide shafts. The tilt adjusting unit also includes a fixing support unit that fixes the first guide shaft and an adjustment supporting unit that supports the second guide shaft and enables the height of both ends of the second guide shaft to be adjusted.

Tilt adjusting apparatus and optical disc drive using the same

Provided is a disc clamping structure, a spindle structure, and an optical disc drive having the disc clamping structure. The disc clamping structure includes a chucking spring comprising a pressing portion pressing an upper surface of the clamper, and elastic portions surrounding the pressing portion and providing an elastic force toward the clamper. The disc clamping structure does not require a magnetic thrust as does the conventional optical disc drive.

Disc chucking structure and optical disc drive including the same

Provided is an optical disc drive having a tray to receive a disc. The tray includes a hollow portion having a bottom corresponding to the disc and a wall surrounding a portion of the bottom, and a plurality of supporting portions formed on the bottom of the hollow portion to locally support a bottom surface of the disc.

Optical disc drive having a tray for loading a disc using supporting portions

Provided is a shaft supporting structure, an optical pickup moving structure including the shaft supporting structure, and an optical disc drive. The shaft supporting structure includes a base chassis, a shaft installed on the base chassis, an axis support that supports an end of the shaft, and a rotatable locker for preventing the shaft from being separated from the axis support.
