Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a unit and method for implementing an optical head and optical drive device whose configuration is simple, and which allows the generation of a track error signal in which no offset is caused to occur. The optical drive device includes a light source for emitting light beams, an objective lens for converging the light beams onto an optical disc, an optical-signal generation element for dividing the light beams into at least four regions by using a division line extending in the radial direction of the optical disc, and a division line extending in the track direction of the optical disc, the light beams being reflected by the optical disc, and an optical detector for receiving the light beams divided by the optical-signal generation element, wherein the up and down or right and left areas of the four regions are made different from each other.
