THERMAL HEAD, THERMAL HEAD UNIT, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

The productivity of a board forming process is improved, the handling ability during a mounting process is enhanced, and the cost is remarkably reduced. In a thermal head (10) having a head chip 20 having one surface on which heating elements (24) and electrodes (25) connected to the heating elements (24) are provided, and a semiconductor integrated circuit (32) connected to the electrodes (24), a wiring substrate (30) is provided, which is joined to the other surface of the head chip (20), and the semiconductor integrated circuit 32 is mounted to the wiring substrate (30). <IMAGE>
