This invention relates to an objective lens driving device which moves an objective
lens; an optical pickup device, comprising this objective lens driving device,
which condenses a light beam onto the information recording surface of an optical
disc; and an optical information recording and/or reproduction device, comprising
this optical pickup device, which drives in rotation an optical disc and moves
the optical pickup device to record and/or reproduce information signals onto or
from the information recording surface. Two printed coil boards, with a first printed
coil with a first shape formed on at least one face and a second printed coil with
a second shape formed on the other face, are provided in parallel in an objective
lens driving device of this invention, and a moveable portion on which an objective
lens is provided is connected with the two printed coil boards; also, a magnet
is positioned between the two printed coil boards provided in parallel. A driving
current is supplied to each of the first and second printed coils to drive the
objective lens in the vertical and/or lateral directions. By means of the objective
lens driving device of this invention, twice the propelling force is generated
by the two printed coil boards positioned on either side of the magnet, so that
driving control of the objective lens can be performed satisfactorily using a simple construction.
