Yes. Accordingly, the correction execution block 921 reads the correction amount ⁇ C stored in the memory 92b, thereby executing rotational position correction using the correction amount ⁇ C. As a result, the electrical angle of the drive signal applied to the coils 443 and 453 of the A and B phases changes by the correction amount ⁇ C. Therefore, the rotational position of the motor shaft 42 is corrected to the reverse rotation side for returning the predicted display deviation ⁇ De.
