Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a heat storage layer having excellent heat retaining properties and heat-resisting properties smoothly in proper thickness by applying a titania colloidal solution, into which a phthalocyanine pigment is dispersed, onto an insulating substrate and drying and baking the solution. CONSTITUTION:A solution in which a phthalocyanine pigment is dispersed into a titania colloidal solution is applied onto an insulating substrate 1, and dried and changed into gel, and the gel is backed, thus forming a sintered body. The phthalocyanine pigment is sublimated and removed through the baking, thus shaping holes in the sintered body. Since a heat storage layer 2 acquired is composed of the porous titania sintered body, has excellent heat-resisting properties and has fine holes, the heat storage layer 2 has small thermal conductivity and properties superior in heat retaining properties. Consequently, even when the heat storage layer 2 is thinned, sufficient heat retaining properties can be obtained. Since the heat storage layer 2 can be thinned, the speed of heat dissipation of a heating element shaped onto the heat storage layer is accelerated, thus increasing printing speed.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the main parts of a conventional thermal head. In the figure, 11 is an insulating substrate, 12 is a substrate 1
1, and the above constitutes a thermal head substrate. A heat generating resistor 13, conductors 14a and 14b, and a protective layer 15 are formed in this order on this heat storage layer 12, and a portion A between the conductors 14a and 14b of the heat generating resistor 13 becomes a heat generating portion.

The heat storage layer 12 has a function as a heat insulating material, and acts to prevent the heat generated by the heating resistor 13 from being radiated more than necessary from the substrate 11 having high thermal conductivity.

Therefore, it is desirable that the heat storage layer 12 is made of a material whose thermal conductivity is lower than that of the protective layer 15 disposed on the opposite side with the heating resistor 13 sandwiched therebetween. Conventionally, the protective layer 15
S i 02, T a 205, etc. are used as the material of
0 'cal/cn -s -''C. Therefore, in the conventional thermal head substrate, the heat storage layer 1
By forming the protective layer 2 thickly, the protective layer 15 has a greater heat insulating property than the protective layer 15, and is configured to prevent excessive heat dissipation.

However, when the heat storage layer 12 is formed to be thick, the heat dissipation from the heat generating portion A cannot be performed quickly after the power supply to the heat generating resistor 13 is turned off. For this reason, when the printing repetition cycle is fast, the next printing is started before the temperature of the heat generating part A has sufficiently decreased, causing the problem that the temperature of the heat generating part A rises too much and the print quality deteriorates.
