  • information storage and retrieval devices such as calculators and computers have been provided with printers or methods of printing which have not been responsive to the speed with which the information is processed and read out. For example, in computers having periodically repeated read out and write in registers, the period of the registers are determined by the words stored therein.
  • the period corresponds to the bit, figure or period of one memory cycle which is read out or stored during an arithmetic operation.
  • a computer clock pulse operates anywhere from several times to a hundred times faster than the time which it takes to print such information.
  • the computer has memory registers which are adapted to effect arithmetical operations and/or display operations, the prior art printers are not able to respond to such read out and write in times which the memory register is capable of achieving, which therefore makes it impossible to utilize the memory register signal as a drive signal for the printer.
  • fluorescent displays have been used because the fluorescent tubes operate at speeds which are comparable to the computer clock cycle so that it is possible to read out contents of the register directly into the display device which is of the scanning type, the scanning cycle being of the same order as the time required for the arithmetic operation cycle. A corresponding direct reading has not been previously provided for printing heads.

  • the circuit depicted therein includes a main memory register 28 and a main memory register counter 29 corresponding thereto.
  • a digit comparater 30 is coupled to the output of the main memory counter 29 and is further coupled to a gate circuit 27 for comparing the signals therein and applying same to the digit driver 22.
  • Digit driver 22 is coupled to digit counter 23 to receive signals therefrom and to apply signals to a flip-flop 32 which is coupled to digit counter 23 and is activated by an external signal applied thereto.

Accordingly the instant invention eliminates the defects of the indirect printing circuits depicted in FIGS. 3 and 4.

Nevertheless, when considerations of mechanical strength and the facility with which such materials can be manufactured, a material having a thermal conductivity in the range of ) ⁇ 2 such as mullite is more appropriate for the base plate material of a dynamic thermally sensitive printing head having drive signals applied thereto.
  • the qualities which are desired in the base plate can also be effectively gained by the use of an epoxy resin. Moreover, even if a high thermal conductivity material were utilized for the base plate, if the base plate were thinned it would reduce the heat radiation in the vicinity of the exothermic elements and the invention could be practiced thereby. However, such thinning of the base plate suffers from disadvantages in that such a thinned base plate could become bent or warped during manufacturing of the printing head.
  • the thermal sensitive head includes a base plate constructed in the manner of base plate of FIG. 2 but having a lower thermal conductivity segmented exothermal elements 33 defining a plurality of digits and a conductor 34 common to and coupled to each of the exothermic elements of each digit.

  • a one shot flip-flop 40 is set by the printing command of the computer or calculator and the output thereof is applied to the AND circuit to gate the input of the main memory register 38 to the segment decoder 37. When the printing command actuates the flip-flop 40 a signal having a pulse width and duration depicted in FIG.
  • a thermal printing head constructed in accordance with the instant invention can be effectively utilized in a dot matrix type printer for printing numerals, letters, symbols, etc. by utilizing matrix principles.
  • a base plate 42 having low thermal conductivity and high resistance has plural exothermic elements 43 arranged on the base plate in a corresponding manner.
  • a common electric conductor 44 which is common to all the digits and connected to five terminal elements which are equivalent to a single digit, and line supply conductors 45 opposite to the common digit conductor and connected to each exothermic element therebetween.
