Abstract
A light-deflecting cover for an optical pick-up apparatus has a reflecting portion disposed within a light path of a light beam projected from a light source or light returning from outside the apparatus for deflecting an optical beam for bending the light path. The light deflecting part of the cover is provided with a light absorbing portion for removing unnecessary light which does not contribute to the operating characteristics of optical equipment within which the light deflecting part is provided. The optical pick-up comprises a light-emitting and detecting device, an optical system for focusing and projecting a laser light outputted from the light-emitting and detecting device onto a signal recording surface of an optical disc, and guiding light returning from the signal recording surface of the optical disc to the light-emitting and detecting device and a light deflecting part having a reflecting portion disposed in the light path of the light system for deflecting the light beam for bending the light path, the light deflecting part comprising a light absorbing portion for removing unnecessary light which does not contribute to the operating characteristics of the optical pi…
