Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a printing to be conducted with a low electric power in comparison with a conventional substrate and to improve heat separation between dots and reduce thermal trailing, by a method wherein a gel-form silica formed by hydrolyzing and polymerizing a metal alkoxide is used as a heat insulating layer. CONSTITUTION:A thermal head substrate is provided with a ceramics substrate and a heat insulating layer formed on the ceramics substrate. As the aforesaid the heat insulating layer, a gel-form silica formed by hydrolyzing and polymerizing a metal alkoxide is used. A solution containing at least the metal alkoxide and water is applied to the ceramics substrate and dried. The gel-form silica is preferably used as the thermal head substrate because of its high heat resistance. The processes of the hydrolytic polymerization of an alkoxysilane are shown by formulas, and on this reaction the heat insulating layer made of the uniform gel-form silica layer can be easily formed.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, recently there has been a demand for thermal heads to have the ability to print with higher precision, higher speed, and lower power. There was a limit due to the problem of thermal separation between the parts and heat condensation.In other words, in order to reduce the power consumption, it was necessary to make the heat insulating layer 2 thicker, but this would turn off the electricity to the heat generating part. When the heat insulating layer 2 is made thinner, the temperature does not decrease sufficiently quickly. Also, thermal separation deteriorates.On the other hand, if the heat insulating layer 2 is made thinner, high-speed printing becomes possible, but a large amount of power is required for printing.
