          Appeal No. 95-3254                                                          
          Application 08/029,492                                                      


               The above quoted limitation requires a display and a                   
          projector.  Araki provides only an LCD display 3.  The                      
          fluorescent lamp 6 is a light source for the front lighted LCD              
          display panel 3.  However, the fluorescent lamp 6 does not                  
          project any information let alone video information from any                
          source.  Thus, there is no information projected from the central           
          processing unit as claimed as well by the fluorescent lamp 6.  It           
          is only the liquid crystal display 3 that displays information              
          from the word processor 1, which we conclude the artisan would              
          have recognized would have inherently included a central                    
          processing unit.  Araki’s device also does not include within any           
          single element, the claimed lid portion, both a display and a               
          projector of any kind.                                                      
               The remaining independent claims contain a similar                     
          limitation as just quoted with respect to claim 1.  Independent             
          claims 18 and 19 contain a similarly recited lid portion with the           
          display and projector for respectively projecting video                     
          information and images.  The lid portion of independent claim 20            
          contains a display and a projector for displaying images from the           
          central processing unit.  Finally, independent claim 31 also                
          recites the removable lid having a display portion and an                   



                                          4
