Abstract
The present invention enables simplification of the assembly of a thermal head capable of performing printing at a high density and with a high resolution. A stable support of electrodes is also provided, along with an improvement in characteristics. The thermal head includes a parallel flat cable composed of a plurality of electrode wires aligned in flat fashion in a polymer insulating coating. A supporting body is made of a bonding agent which is abundant in rigidity and which encapsulates the polymer insulating coating, or encapsulates the electrode wires with a portion of the polymer insulating coating removed, at an end portion of the parallel flat cable at a printing plane.
