Abstract
A thermal printing head having a heating resistor prepared according to a thin-film technique and a wiring circuit prepared according to a thick-film technique achieves a high printing quality at a low cost. A thin-film resistor is formed on a heat-insulating dielectric layer which is, in turn, provided partially on a dielectric substrate, while thick-film lead electrodes, which are connected to a driving circuit, are formed on the dielectric substrate so as to make contact with the edge portion of the heat-insulating dielectric layer. Thin-film lead electrodes electrically connect the thick-film lead electrodes to the opposite ends of the thin-film resistor. The heat-insulating dielectric layer and the thick-film lead electrodes are provided by means of thick-film technique such as screen-printing and succeeding firing processes and the thin-film resistor and the thin-film lead electrodes are formed through thin-film technique such as sputtering or vacuum-evaporating process.
