Abstract
A voltage generating unit includes an output transistor arranged as a first-terminal side extension of a path that includes a first terminal, a first resistive film, and a second terminal, and is configured to apply a first bias voltage to the first terminal. A current detection unit includes a detection transistor connected to the output transistor such that they form a current mirror circuit, a detection resistor arranged on a path of the detection transistor, and an amplifier circuit configured to amplify the difference between a voltage drop across a detection resistor and a predetermined voltage, and to output the difference thus amplified as a value which represents a panel current.
