Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a small and low cost thermal head which is of superior thermal response, fast printing and also is almost free from printing record density dispersion by inserting a ceramic substrate deviated back from the side part of a thermal resistor array of a thermal head substrate between the thermal head substrate and a circuit board, and mounting a drive IC on the circuit board. CONSTITUTION:A thermal head substrate 1, equipped with a thermal resistor array on a partial glazed part 2, is arranged and fixed on the second ceramic substrate 4 together with a circuit board 3. The side part b of a thermal resistor of the second ceramic substrate 4 is arranged and fixed on a radiator plate 5, deviated back from the side part a of a thermal resistor array of the thermal head substrate. In addition, a drive IC 6 is mounted directly on the circuit board 3. The drive IC 6 is electrically connected to the thermal head substrate 1 and the circuit board 3 by bonding wire 7. As a result, a required space for the thermal head substrate is minimized, and a fabricated thermal head is miniaturized. Further, due to the arrangement of a ceramic board under the thermal head substrate, the thermal head has an outstanding thermal response characteristic.

In the above-mentioned conventional thermal head, since the side edge of the heating resistor array of the thermal helad board and the side edge of the second ceramic substrate are aligned and arranged on the heat sink, Vertical unevenness that occurs during a certain cutting process causes local height differences on the thermal head board.
Therefore, the pressing force from the thermal head to be applied to the printed recording paper locally varies, and the printed recording paper has the disadvantage that local density unevenness occurs.
