Abstract
An advantage of the present invention is that it provides an optical pickup device including a first condensing member that condenses light from a first light source; a second condensing member that condenses light from a second light source; a holder that has the first and second condensing members attached thereto; a plurality of tracking coils that drive the holder in a tracking direction of an optical disk; and a plurality of focus coils that drive the holder in a focus direction of an optical disk. The plurality of focus coils are disposed in the holder such that virtual center axes for winding coil are set to be substantially perpendicular to the optical axes of the first and second condensing members, and are disposed in four direction such that the region in which the first and second condensing members are attached is surrounded in a rectangular shape. The tracking coils are disposed in the holder such that virtual center axes for winding coil are set to be substantially perpendicular to the optical axes of the first and second condensing members, and are disposed between the first and second condensing members in a tangential direction.
