Thermal head and thermal transfer apparatus

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A thermal head is used on a thermal transfer recording apparatus which can record a continuous fine, line or curve by recording many dots by a thermal, transfer system, on a recording sheet. The thermal head comprises a one-dimensional array of heat generation element groups each comprised of a plurality of heat generation elements, such as heat generation resistors of, for example, a parallelogram, a diamond or an elliptic configuration, continuously arranged in a direction perpendicular to that in which recording is made on a recording sheet and lead electrodes connected adjacent to each other in predetermined positions in which the, longitudinal sides of the heat generation resistors are …
