The electrostatic protection circuit is of the configuration that a first diode and a second diode are connected in series, wherein a semiconductor layer owned by each diode is configured to be sandwiched between a gate electrode and a conductive light shielding film. The light shielding film is formed to overlap with the semiconductor layer and has a wider area than the semiconductor layer. This results in having a gate covering the semiconductor layer from an upper side and a back gate covering the semiconductor layer from a lower side, so that the sensitivity can be maintained high irrespective of decreasing the electrostatic protection circuit in dimension.

Abstract: When there is a history that a required torque has reached a high torque range and the required torque falls within a low torque range, a start threshold is changed from a value larger than a maximum double-drive torque to a value smaller than a selection threshold for selecting a single-drive mode or a double-drive mode. When the required torque becomes larger than the start threshold, an engine is started.
