Abstract
An optical disc drive to prevent entry of dust through a front side of a tray and includes a housing including a first opening, a shielding member disposed to shield the first opening at a distance from a front side of the housing, and including a second opening, and a tray inserted in the first and the second openings to shield the second opening and loaded into and unloaded from the housing. Thus, since sponge or padding is not dedicatedly used, cost can be saved. In addition, since the manufacturing process is simplified, productivity can be improved.
