          Appeal No. 96-0541                                                          
          Application 08/034,845                                                      


               The Examiner argues on page 3 of the supplemental answer               
          the Appellant's "claims never require that the first substrate              
          and the first array of linear electrodes to be adjacent with                
          each other, and the second substrate and the second array of                
          linear electrodes are adjacent to each other."  The Examiner                
          further states:                                                             
               Even though Figure 2 of Miyake does not show the                       
               second linear electrode array 25 is directly on the                    
               second substrate 21, Figure 2 of Miyake is broadly                     
               interpreted by the Examiner to include a first                         
               substrate (22)having a first array of linear                           
               electrodes (24) thereon, a second substrate (21)                       
               having a second array of linear electrodes (25)                        
               thereon (phosphor screen 29, cell barrier 23, layers                   
               28, 27, and electrodes 25 are interpreted to be                        
               included in the substrate 21).                                         
               Appellant responds to these Examiner's arguments on page               
          2 of the supplemental reply brief that Appellant's claims                   
          require a linear electrode array directly thereon the second                
          substrate.                                                                  
          We note that Appellant's claim 7 recites "a first substrate                 
          having a first array of linear electrodes thereon."  We                     
          further note that Appellant's claim 7 recites "a second                     
          substrate having a second linear electrode array thereon."  We              
          note that the Appellant has argued that this claim language
