<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device for forming images, a recording head and a recording material that contribute to product cost reductions. <P>SOLUTION: A color thermal printer 2 uses a color thermal recording paper sheet 10 having a conductor layer 31 heating up by generating induction current Ie by a high-frequency magnetic field H and has yellow, magenta and cyan thermal coloring layers 33 to 35 coloring by reacting to the heat. a recording head 17 in which a single-turn coil 40a to generate a high-frequency magnetic field H by applying a high-frequency current Ih, and a system controller 19 to control thermal energy generated in the conductor layer 31 in accordance with an image to be recorded are provided. The system controller 19 controls thermal energy by varying the application time, size, and frequency of the high frequency current Ih or the distance between the recording head 17 and the color thermal recording paper sheet 10. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
