ABSTRACT A thermal head device for use in a facsimile machine and the like as an output device is provided. The thermal head device comprises a plurality of heat-producing electrically resistive elements formed on an insulating substrate arranged in a single line to form a thermal array. A plurality of tape carriers, each comprised of an insulating film strip and conductive paths formed thereon in a desired pattern, are used to provide interconnections between the resistive elements and external circuits. An image informa- tion signal is applied to the resistive elements through the tape carriers thereby the resistive elements are selectively activated to produce heat in accordance with the signal supplied. Therefore, a visual image may be obtained by advancing a thermosensitive paper in contact with the thermal array in the direction perpendicularly thereto. The present invention provides numerous improvements in such a thermal head device.
