Abstract
Disclosed is a thermal head in which a plurality of heat-generating elements are arranged on a substrate on a line oblique to the scanning direction of the thermal head so that the projecting scanning region of each heat-generating element overlaps the projection scanning region of the adjacent heat-generating element over a minute space without any blank clearance between the projecting scanning regions. In this thermal head, mutual thermal influences in the heat-generating elements can be completely eliminated, and the printing quality can be improved.
