Abstract
The height of a tracking coil in an objective lens driving device having a cover over a magnetic circuit is freed from limitations imposed by the cover, so that an effective length of the tracking coil can be ensured. Magnetsgenerating an effective flux and facing yokesfacing the magnets are provided such that effective edges of a focusing coiland a tracking coilare located in an air gap. A coveris provided over the top surface of the magnetsand the facing yokes. The coverhas a notch formed for exposing the tracking coilso as to avoid limiting the height of the tracking coil, thereby securing an appropriate effective length of the tracking coilwithin the effective flux.
