Patent ID: 8198074

Claim:
A reaction device comprising: a plurality of reaction areas; and a plurality of heating parts, each reaction area including a different one of the heating parts, wherein each of the heating parts includes a heat source, a scan line for selecting the heating part, a data line that transmits heating amount information used for heating to the heat source, a converter that converts the heating amount information to a voltage level, the converter including a first field effect transistor whose gate and drain are electrically connected to each other, a second field effect transistor whose gate and drain are electrically connected to each other, the source of the first field effect transistor and the drain of the second field effect transistor being electrically connected to each other, and the source of the second field effect transistor being electronically connected to a ground potential, a holder that stores the heating amount information also after the scan line is turned to a non-selected state, and a heat generation controller that controls heat generation of the heat source based on the heating amount information.
