Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress the deterioration of the life of a thermal head by reducing the stress applied to a heating resistor by a method wherein the heating resistor is printed and dried and an abrasion-resistant layer is printed on the upper surface of said resistor without performing baking and, after drying, the heating resistor and the abrasion-resistant layer are simultaneously baked. CONSTITUTION:The pattern of a gold electrode 3 and a common electrode 6 are formed to the upper surface of the heat accumulation layer 2 formed on a substrate 1. Next, the paste of a heating resistor 4 is printed by screen printing and sufficiently leveled to be dried. Thereafter, glass paste mainly composed of silicon dioxide is sufficiently diluted using an org. solvent and printed using a fine screen. Thereafter, the glass paste layer is leveled at a flat place in a windless state and dried to form an abrasion-resistant layer 5. Next, these two layers 4, 5 are baked simultaneously. By this method, the difference between the resistance value after baking and an objective resistance value can be reduced as compared with a conventional thermal head and the voltage in pulse trimming can be lowered and the deterioration of life can be avoided.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention By the way, in the thick film thermal head described above, the resistance value of the heat generating resistor 4 varies due to non-uniform film thickness and mutual diffusion between the heat storage layer 2 and the wear-resistant layer 6. There was a large variation in Conventionally, the resistance values could be made uniform by using a method called pulse trimming. In this method, by applying a high voltage pulse to the heating resistor 4, the resistance value of the heating resistor 4, which has a resistance value higher than the target resistance value, is lowered to the target resistance value. However, in the heating resistor 4, the ratio of the resistance value of the heating resistor 4 immediately after its construction to the resistance value after the construction of the wear-resistant film is not always constant by 1-1, due to differences in the atmosphere during firing, etc. Therefore, in order to obtain a high yield, it is necessary to aim for a resistance value higher than the target resistance value. For this reason, in the IJ mink, a pulse is applied at a high voltage of Kanasi, which puts considerable stress on the heating resistor 4, which reduces the lifespan of the heating resistor 1 and the thermal head itself. Met.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a method for printing and drying a heating resistor without firing it.

Next, a paste of the heating resistor 4 made of ruthenium oxide and having a specific resistance appropriate to obtain the target resistance value was printed by screen printing, and after being left for more than 10 minutes to sufficiently level the paste, Dry for 16 minutes at °C. Thereafter, the glass paste, which is mainly composed of silicon dioxide, is diluted using an organic solvent suitable for the paste until the solid content is approximately half of the paste stock solution. This is because the thickness of the wear-resistant layer 6 is about 6 μm in order to improve printing efficiency.
This is to prevent the solvent from seeping into the dry heating resistor 4 portion when printing the glass paste, thereby preventing the surface condition of the abrasion resistant layer 6 from worsening after firing. Next, this sufficiently diluted glass paste is screen printed using a fine screen of about 326 meshes, and then left in a flat place with no wind for 15 minutes or more for leveling. Next, it is dried under the same conditions as the paste for the heating resistor 4.
