Abstract
In an optical pickup device with a defocus adjustor used for adjusting a position of a photo-sensor against an optical system, the photo-sensor is mounted on a flexible printed circuit board, and the flexible printed circuit board is fixed on a plate spring. A first end of the plate spring with the flexible printed circuit board is fixed on a fixing face of a holder. Since the fixing face of the holder is inclined and the plate spring is formed flat with no bending portion, the plate spring is warped for generating a stress when the second end of the plate spring is fixed on the holder by an adjusting screw. The position of a photo-sensing face of the photo-sensor can be fine adjusted by tightening or loosening the adjusting screw.
