2. Description of the Related Art Among conventional thermal heads used in office equipment, communication equipment, etc., a flat head is a type of heat generating device as shown in the side view of FIG. A substrate 3 made of alumina or the like having a body row and a heating element driving IC 2 provided on the surface thereof, and a printed wiring board 4 for connecting the IC 2 and an external circuit are fixed on a heat sink 5 made of an aluminum plate or the like. The cover 6 for protecting the IC 2 is fixed on the heat sink 5. However, in this flat type thermal head,
When printing on a hard material such as the card 7, there is a problem that the card 7 or the like may be caught on the cover 6 and may interfere with printing or feeding.

Such a problem also occurs in a thermal head having a structure in which the substrate 3 for the heating element is fixed to the end surface of the heat sink 5, as shown in FIG. 3 (B). That is, also in the structure of FIG. 3B, the connection portion 9 (10 indicates the adhesive and the protective film for fixing the connection portion) between the wiring end portion on the substrate 3 and the film carrier 8 on which the IC 2 is mounted. ), It is necessary to extend the end of the cover 6 to cover the end face of the substrate 3. Therefore, the cover 6 is still closer to the substrate 3 than the end surface of the heat sink 5.
There is a problem that it protrudes higher than the height of the card and interferes with the feeding of the card 7 or the like. In the figure, 11 is a connector.

However, in this end face head, since the end face of the substrate 12 is processed into an arcuate face and the heating element array is formed on the end face, the substrate 12 must be manufactured individually. The productivity is poor, and the heat transfer path 13 from the heating element array to the heat sink 5 is in the width direction of the substrate 12. Therefore, the heat transfer cross section is narrow and the heat transfer path is long, resulting in poor heat dissipation. There was a point.
