PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a recorded image with high resolution, sufficient optical density, good deviation and less variation in these recording characteristics, while characteristics of a conventional method of thermal transfer recording are utilized. SOLUTION: In a record head, a plurality of heater chips 1 are opposing to each other and a plurality of heating sections 6 for heating a recording medium to transfer it to a medium to be recorded are formed in the respective heater chips 1. An individual electrode 41A for energizing the heating section 6 is provided to each of the heating sections 6. A return electrode 41B is provided to each gap between the respective heater sections 6. The return electrode 41B is not provided to an end section in the respective opposing position of the chips 1, but only the individual electrode 41A is provided. Thereby, it is possible to attain the accurate pitches between the heating sections 6 in the overall of the recording head having the plurality of chips 1. |
