PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetism detector not affecting detection accuracy on a magnetic movable body which is a body under detection even if displacement exists at relative positions of magnetoresistive elements and a magnet owing to variations in manufacture. SOLUTION: This magnetism detector includes a magnetic field detection part comprising at least two magnetoresistive elements, the magnet for impressing a magnetic field on the magnetoresistive elements, the magnetic movable body for changing the magnetic field generated by the magnet, and a processing circuit part for outputting a signal on the basis of changes in resistance values of the magnetoresistive elements owing to the change in the magnetic field. This detector is characterized in that the shape of the magnetoresistive element is point-symmetrical. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
