Patent attributes
An optical disc apparatus and a focus position control method can highly accurately record recording marks representing information on or reproduce such recording marks from an optical disc. A blue light beam is irradiated onto the target depth to be irradiated by driving an objective lens to focus a red light beam in a reflection/transmission film formed in the optical disc and displacing a movable lens, which is a focus moving section, of a relay lens. A blue light reflection region is formed as part of the reflection/transmission film and the position of the blue light reflection region where the red light focus and the blue light focus are aligned is defined as reference position. The movable lens is displaced by an arbitrarily selected quantity from the reference position according to the target depth.
