The present invention is directed to a thermal, print head for preventing sticking phenomenon. The present invention provides a thermal print head A1, including: a substrate 1; an electrode layer 3; a resist layer 4 including a plurality of heat-generating portions 41 arranged in a main scanning direction, x; and a protection layer 55. The thermal print head A1 further includes a raised layer, being adjacent to the resist layer in a sub-scanning direction, and disposed between the substrate and the protection layer.
