An optical pickup device moves in a feed direction parallel to a radial direction of an optical disc rotating on an axis of rotation, and records or reproduces information on an information recording surface of the optical disc. The optical pickup device has a first light source that emits light of a first wavelength, a second light source that emits light of a second wavelength differing from the first wavelength, a first objective lens for focusing the light from the first light source onto the information recording surface, and a second objective lens for focusing the light from the second light source onto the information recording surface. The first and second objective lenses and the first light source are disposed in a plane that passes through the axis of rotation and is parallel to the feed direction.

The three-dimensional image display apparatus includes a display unit having display pixels arranged in rows and columns, and configured to display right-eye images and left-eye images alternately at every other column. Lenticular lenses with positive refractive power are provided corresponding to respective columns of the display pixels. The lenticular lenses and the columns of the display pixels are the same in number. The lenticular lenses collimate light representing the right-eye images and light representing the left-eye images. A deflection optical element deflects the collimated light representing the right-eye images and the collimated light representing the left-eye images toward right-eye and left-eye three-dimensional viewing areas. The deflection optical element includes a plurality of planes extending in a direction of the columns of the display pixels and inclined relative to a normal line of the display unit. The planes and the columns of the display pixels are the same in number.

An optical disc discriminating method and an optical disc discriminating apparatus which can discriminate a type of optical disc with a simple configuration, causes a drive means to vary an incident angle of a laser light beam with respect to an optical disc while irradiating the optical disc with the laser light beam from a light beam generating section, causes a photodetector to detect a diffraction light of the laser light beam from a recording track of the optical disc, detects a value corresponding to the incident angle when the diffraction light is detected, and discriminates the type of the optical disc on the basis of the detected value.

In a multilayer optical disc having information layers conforming to a plurality of different optical disc standards, because the type of each information layer is not recorded in the other information layers, in read and write operations by a compatible optical disc device conforming to a plurality of optical disc standards, every time the information layer being accessed changes, it has been necessary to read the type of the information layer and select a method of generating a tracking error signal adapted to the type of information layer, so access has taken time. In order to solve the above problem, in the optical multilayer disc according to the present invention, having information layers conforming to a plurality of different optical disc standards, in an area in one of the information layers, information about the other information layers is recorded. The time required to access the other information layers can be reduced by using this information to select a tracking error signal generating method.

An optical disc device compatible with optical discs of different types having different track pitches, having a light detecting means (104) disposed in the path of diffracted light from the recording tracks on the optical disc (101), on which a light beam from a light emitting section (103) is incident. During the loading of the optical disc, the optical disc device discriminates the type of optical disc from the detection output of the light detecting means (104) and the positional relation between the optical disc (101) and the light detecting means (104). A simple structure thus enables the optical disc type to be discriminated.
