A thermal head for a thermal printer or a thermal transfer printer wherein a substrate linearly formed with a plurality of heating elements and a control substrate for controlling generation of heat of the heating elements are mounted on different surfaces of a heat sink having a certain angle therebetween, whereby the printing mechanism can be simplified and compact in construction. Particularly, where the thermal head is applied to a multicolor recording apparatus, it is possible to increase the recording speed and miniaturize the apparatus.
