Abstract

An optical head device includes a lens holder, a wire support body which supports the lens holder through a plurality of wires, and a plate-like member on which the wire support body is mounted. The plate-like member includes a bottom plate part on which the wire support body is mounted and a rising part raised from the bottom plate part so as to face with a gap to a side face of the wire support body. The wire support body is subjected to surface bonding to the rising part with a first adhesive which is disposed within the gap and mounted on the plate-like member.
