Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive simplification of an IC or a circuit, by providing output electrodes having a single output potential level and a common electrode having a potential level different from the output potential level of the output electrodes, with an insulating member provided therebetween with respect to the direction of lamination. CONSTITUTION:Electrodes 2 having only one output level are provided on a base substrate 1, and a common electrode 4 having an output potential level different from the output level of the electrodes 2 is provided thereon, with an insulating layer 3 provided therebetween. With a switching circuit 5 turned ON, a potential difference is generated between the electrodes 2 and 4, and a current 12 is caused to flow through a resistor layer 9 to generate heat in the layer 9. The heat is transferred to an ink layer 11 through a base layer 10, and an ink melted by the heat is transferred onto a paper. Accordingly, it is possible to simplify a driver IC or a circuit on a head, thereby reducing the total cost.
