Abstract

An optical disc having a plurality of information tracks, each information track having a servo field including a pair of wobbled pits and a clock pit. The distance between one of the wobbled pits and the clock pit in each servo field is selected such that the optical disc includes at least three different types of servo field. These differnt types of servo field appear in a predetermined sequence for every one or more contiguous information tracks. A driving apparatus for driving such an optical disc has a direction detecting circuit for detecting the moving velocity of a movable portion of an optical head, and a speed detecting circuit for detecting the relative velocity of the movable portion.
