PURPOSE:To enable the easy recording of characters or the like at any positions on a recording paper or the like by constructing a thermal recording device such that a thermal recording head is disposed at a distal end of a pencil-like shaft unit. CONSTITUTION:Character information on different characters is read out of a memory 52 each time an operation signal of a switch 6 is supplied, and a display control signal for displaying a character related to the information on the basis of the information so read out is then supplied to a display driving circuit 54, thereby displaying a character currently so selected on a display 3. In a case where a character to be recorded on the display 3, a stem 1 is set such that a recording head 2 is located on a desired position on a recording paper 8. Thereafter, when a recording button switch 7 is pressed down, a recording control signal based on the information read out of the memory 52 is kept supplying from a microprocessor 51 to the recording driving circuit 53 for a predetermined period of time t. This causes a thermal resistive unit of the recording head 2 to be selectively driven, thereby recording the character appearing on the display 3 on the recording paper 8. |
