An objective lens driving apparatus used with an optical pickup includes a
base, a holder provided on the base, a blade on which an objective lens
is mounted, an elastic support body elastically supporting the blade and
which is capable of moving with respect to the holder, a pair of magnetic
members installed on the base to face each other, and a coil assembly
including a focus coil, a tracking coil, and a tilt coil, the coil
assembly being installed at the blade so as to be disposed between the
magnetic members. Thus, coils needed to change the position of an
objective lens are incorporated into a single coil assembly and are
arranged between a pair of magnets, and an installation space is small so
that the apparatus can be made compact.
