An optical disc apparatus includes a pickup assembly, a first printed
circuit board, a second printed circuit board, and a flexible printed
circuit board. The pickup assembly is adapted to focus a laser beam
through an objective lens onto an optical disc in order to retrieve data
stored on the optical disc. The first printed circuit board is mounted on
the pickup assembly and adapted to control an actuator for activating the
objective lens. The second printed circuit board is mounted on the pickup
assembly and adapted to instruct the first printed circuit board to
activate the objective lens. The flexible printed circuit board is
connected to each of the first and second printed circuit boards in order
to establish electrical connection therebetween. The flexible printed
circuit board is mounted in such a manner as to be twisted approximately
in middle thereof.
