ABSTRACT:
An objective lens driving apparatus includes a base, an objective lens for converging an optical beam on an optical disc while the optical disc is rotating, and a holding member for holding the objective lens. A first supporting mechanism elastically supports the holding member on the base in such a manner as to allow the holding member to be translated in a focusing direction which is substantially perpendicular to a surface of the optical disc and in a tracking direction which is substantially perpendicular to the focusing direction and parallel to a radial direction of the optical disc. A moving mechanism including a coil and a magnetic circuit translates the holding member in the focusing direction and the tracking direction by a driving force generated by the coil and the magnetic circuit. A second supporting mechanism visco-elastically supports the magnetic circuit on the base in such a manner as to translate the magnetic circuit in the focusing direction. The magnetic circuit is translated in an opposite direction to the translation direction of the holding member by a driving force acting oppositely to the driving force for translating the holding member in the focusing direction.
