門するものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a multicolor recording device for facsimile, etc.
It is based on the structure of the Marhead (see Japanese Patent Application No. 57-62952).

4 is an ink layer, and 4 is a platen roller. FIG. 2 shows the structure of the thermal head 1, in which 5 is a heating element array and 6 is a diode chip.

次に、第1図(4色記録の例)のQ1作原理を簡単に説

種の色のインク1m、913.〜3b。Next, the principle of Q1 operation shown in FIG. 1 (an example of four-color recording) will be briefly explained. The transfer film 3 is coated with ink of various colors in units of 1 m, 913. ~3b.

色のインクの記録紙2への転写を記録動作中に行なう。In this example, there are four colors. Also thermal head 1
There are also four of them, and the distance between them is L. When both signals are input to the thermal head, the desired heating element 5' generates heat, melting the ink directly below through the base film 3a,
Ink is transferred onto recording paper 2. Here, transfer film 3
Since the feeding speed v8 of is very slow compared to the paper feeding speed,
The thermal head 1 has a predetermined number of 4
The color ink is transferred to the recording paper 2 during the recording operation.
この結果記録紙2には、インク311 ! ・−J b
4の4色よシ]なる記録画像が得られる。As a result, ink 311!・-Jb
A recorded image with 4 colors can be obtained.
なお、■ラインの画信号中に4色分の信号が混在電ろ時

よい。また第1図は4色の例であり、サーマルヘッド1
の追加と転写フィルトの色追加により、これ以上の多色
も可能であると共に、混色による多色化も容易である。Incidentally, when signals for four colors are mixed in the image signal of the (2) line, the signals for each color may be delayed in accordance with the paper feed speed Vp. Also, Figure 1 shows an example of four colors, and the thermal head 1
It is possible to create more colors than this by adding the above color and the color of the transfer filter, and it is also easy to create multiple colors by mixing colors.

った。However, in the configuration shown in FIG. 2, the projections caused by the diode chip 6 as shown in FIG. 4 cause the transfer films A, ? This is also unfavorable for the running of the recording paper 2. In addition, the need to avoid contact between the platen roller 4 and the diode depth 6 limited the reduction in the dimension 4 of the heating element substrate 1a, resulting in a large dimension between the arrays, resulting in an overall large normal head. .

面について詳細に説明する。In order to eliminate these drawbacks, the present invention disposes a semiconductor chip such as a diode chip in the gap between the heating element substrate;
This is a 1-maru head without a convex portion on the recording surface, and the drawings will be described in detail below.

1 is the common side lead. As is clear from the figure, the semiconductor chip, that is, the diode chip 6 is mounted on the support base 1b.
The end portion 12 of the heating element substrate 1a is cut diagonally, and the bonding pad of the lead 1o is formed on the diagonally cut end portion 12.
It is connected to the diode chip 6 by bonding.

ンが形成されている。FIG. 6 is a sectional view of FIG. 5, and 13 is a protective material made of insulating resin. The heating element substrate 1a is usually made of ceramics and has a thickness of 1 to 2 mm, whereas the thickness of the diode chip 6 is about 0.4 to 0.6 mys. Therefore, the diode chip 6 can be installed lower than the heating element 5 as shown in FIG. In addition, support base 1 made of iron, aluminum, etc.
A wiring pattern to a heating element drive circuit is formed on b through an insulating film.

It is possible to form a pattern with high precision on the diagonal end 12 by using a 7-beam, etc.
It is the f ijth one. Furthermore, since there is no contact with the platen roller 4 due to protrusions, the dimension e of the heating element substrate 1a can be reduced, and an overall compact thermal head can be realized.

Furthermore, since the heating element substrate can be formed small, the entire thermal head can be made smaller, and the heating element substrate is also advantageous in that it can be mass-produced in small quantities and manufacturing costs can be reduced.
