RECORDING HEAD AND RECORDING DEVICE PROVIDED WITH THE RECORDING HEAD

摘要

[PROBLEMS] A thermal head (X1) is provided with a substrate (10), a plurality of heat generating elements (H), a first electrode (31), and a second electrode (32). The heat generating elements (H) are arranged on the substrate (10). The first electrode (31) is provided with a plurality of first connecting sections (311) and a plurality of first conductive sections (312). Each of the first connecting sections (311) is connected to one end portion of each of the heat generating elements (H). Each of the first conductive sections (312) is connected to each of the first connecting sections (311) at one end. The second electrode (32) is provided with a plurality of second connecting sections (321) and a plurality of second conductive sections (322). Each of the second connecting sections (321) is connected to the other end portion of each of the heat generating elements (H). Each of the second conductive sections (322) is connected to each of the second connecting sections (321) at one end. With regard to a first heat generating element (Ha) and a second heat generating element (Hb) adjacent to each other among the heat generating elements (H) in a thermal head (X5), at least one of the following differences is not 0; a difference between the heat capacity of the first connecting section (311) connected to the first heat generating element (Ha) and the heat capacity of the first connecting section (311) connected to the second heat generating element (Hb), and a difference between the heat capacity of the second connecting section (321) connected to the first heat generating element (Ha) and the heat capacity of the second connecting section (321) connected to the second heat generating element (Hb).
