Abstract: A thermal head producing method in which dispersion of resistance values of heating resistors in each thermal head and dispersion of the resistance values of the heating resistors per dot unit are made uniform to improve printing quality. A glaze layer is formed on a substrate and a heating resistor composed of a thin film resistor material of a mixed composition of a high melting point metal and an insulating material is formed on the glaze layer. First and second pattern conductors for providing common and separate electrodes are formed on the heating resistor and, after a protective film is formed to cover the first and second pattern conductors and the heating resistor, the heating resistor is heated so as to be a higher temperature than a dot temperature required for a printing operation. Preferably, after a resistor film formed on the glaze layer is annealed under vacuum to prepare the heating resistor, the first and second pattern conductors are formed on the heating resistor, and the protective film is formed in the same manner as described above.

Abstract: A printhead assembly with a replaceable stylus insert provides for compact connection of contact pads by staggering the contact pads an offset distance that is significantly less than the pad dimension in the direction of offsetting. Preferably the offsets are symmetrically arranged about a reference line and connections are coordinated relative to the reference line so that conductor overlaps are avoided. A compressable means applies pressure to urge the contact pad into intimate engagement and ribs formed in one or both of two clamping sections concentrate pressure along alignments of contact pads.

Abstract: A thermal head in which battery effect-induced corrosion can be retarded while maintaining excellent anti-static capability in an upper conductive protective film, is provided. The thermal head includes a substrate, a heater element arranged on the surface of the substrate, an electrode layer connected to the heater element, and an upper conductive protective film for covering part of the electrode layer. In the thermal head, between the electrode layer and the upper conductive protective film is interposed a lower conductive protective film which is higher in specific resistance than the upper conductive protective film.

Abstract: A thermal head is suitable for use in electronic equipments such as printers and the like and comprises a partially or entirely trapezoidal partial-glaze layer formed on the top of an insulation substrate at one edge, a resistive film layer formed on the partial-glaze layer a pattern of common and discrete electrodes formed on the resistive film layer on the opposite sides of the partial-glaze layer except the area thereof that corresponds to the top of the partial-glaze layer, and a protective film layer formed to cover the resistive film layer and electrodes. In such a manner, a heating section is provided on the top of the trapezoidal partial-glaze layer. The heating section extends further upwards from the surrounding area. Unnecessary dispersion of pressure to the surrounding area other than the heating section can be avoided to improve the printing efficiency and speed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a thermal head including a substrate of alumina, a glaze layer formed on the substrate and patterning resistor and electrode layers on the glaze layer. The thermal head is of a whole glaze type in which a heating section is formed on the glaze layer at or adjacent to the edge portion thereof or of a partial glaze type in which a heating section is formed on the glaze layer at or adjacent to its partially cut edge portion. Thus, the thermal head can print more clearly.
