An objective lens actuator is provided which includes two objective lenses
mounted on a movable body, and which is capable of preventing the movable
body from coming into contact or collision with a disk and whose
thickness becomes thinner. When a light beam is concentrated and focused
on a high-density optical disk, D1 represents the distance between the
disk surface and the part of the movable body in the closest position to
the disk; when a light beam is concentrated and focused on a CD, D2
represents the distance between the disk surface and the part of the
movable body in the closest position to the disk; when a light beam is
concentrated and focused on a DVD, D3 represents the distance between the
disk surface and the part of the movable body in the closest position to
the disk; and the following relational expression (1) is satisfied,
D1
