PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a circuit constitution for converting from voltage for logic driving to voltage for element driving without increasing a length in the vertical direction with respect to the arranging direction of each segment. SOLUTION: On a substrate, a heater/driver array comprising a heater for generating heat energy utilized for delivering an ink and a driving circuit for driving this is mounted. The heater is driven by a block driving using a plurality of groups as a unit. In either of an inputting circuit, a shift registering circuit or a decoder circuit, based on a printing data signal inputted on a logic signal voltage level (VDD), a block selecting signal of a driving signal voltage level (VHT) and a heater driving signal corresponding to the selecting block are formed. The heater/driver array drives the heater according to the block selecting signal and the heater driving signal of this driving signal voltage level. The heater driving signal is inputted into the heater/driver array through a buffer 170 for adjusting a load. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
