Abstract
A heating device includes a holding member and having thereinside a plurality of resistive heating elements connected to different pairs of electrode terminals, and a columnar support member joined to the holding member. A first resistive heating element is disposed throughout a first region including a region that overlaps the columnar support member as viewed from the first direction and a second region that is located around an outer periphery of the first region and that does not overlap the columnar support member as viewed from the first direction. A second resistive heating element is disposed throughout the first region and the second region, and an amount of heat generated by the second resistive heating element per unit area of the first region is larger than an amount of heat generated by the second resistive heating element per unit area of the second region.
