Abstract:
1. An optical disc apparatus comprising: a pickup assembly adapted to focus a laser beam through an objective lens onto an optical disc placed in the apparatus, to detect light reflected by the optical disc, and to output a read signal according to the detected light; a thread mechanism adapted to move the pickup assembly along a radial direction of the optical disc; a data acquisition device adapted to process the read signal in order to obtain data stored on the optical disc; a first printed circuit board mounted on the pickup assembly, the first printed circuit board being adapted to control an actuator for activating the objective lens; a second printed circuit board mounted on the pickup assembly, the second printed circuit board being adapted to instruct the first printed circuit board to activate the objective lens; and a flexible printed circuit board connected to each of the first and second printed circuit boards in order to establish electrical connection between the first and second printed circuit boards, the flexible printed circuit board being mounted in such a manner as to be twisted approximately in middle thereof, wherein the first printed circuit board includes a first connecting terminal for connecting to the flexible printed circuit board from a perpendicular direction to the radial direction, and the second printed circuit board includes a second connecting terminal for connecting to the flexible printed circuit board from the radial direction.
