Abstract:
The fixing device includes a fixing member, a pressing member, and a heat source. The fixing member heats toner on a medium. The pressing member forms a pressing area with the fixing member and presses the toner. The heat source is provided corresponding to the pressing area across the fixing member and heats the fixing member. The heat source includes a heat insulation layer and a heating and contacting part. The heat insulation layer is laminated on a base material and has a convex part that protrudes toward the fixing member. The heating and contacting part is laminated on the heat insulation layer that has the convex part and contacts to an inner surface of the fixing member so as to heat the fixing member. The convex part protrudes the heating and contacting part laminated thereon toward the fixing member so as to maximize pressure in the pressing area.

Claim (Index 6):
The fixing device according to  claim 5 ,\n wherein the heating parts are formed of plural heating resistors that are arranged in line in an axial direction.
