Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/176884
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a thermal head that reduces the possibility of splintering or cracking at the edge of the substrate. [Solution] A thermal head (X1) has a substrate (7) and multiple heat-generating parts (9) provided on the substrate (7). The substrate (7) has a first main surface (7c), a second main surface (7d) positioned on the side opposite the first main surface (7c), and a first end face (7a) that is connected to the first main surface (7c) and the second main surface (7d) and follows the direction in which the multiple heat-generating parts (9) are arrayed. On each of the first main surface (7c), the first end face (7a) and the second main surface (7d) of the substrate (7), an edge (7g) is provided in directions that are orthogonal to the direction in which the multiple heat-generating parts (9) are arrayed. On the edge (7g) of the first main surface (7c) of the substrate, a first reinforcing member (8) and a second reinforcing member (10) that is separated from the first reinforcing member (8) are provided. The first reinforcing member (8) is provided from on the edge (7g) of the first main surface (7c) onto the edge (7g) of the first end face (7c) and onto the edge (7g) of the second main surface (7d).
