          Appeal No. 96-3843                                                          
          Application No. 08/430,144                                                  


                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 4                 
          through 8.                                                                  
               The disclosed invention relates to a cathode ray tube                  
          that has a color filter layer sandwiched between a phosphor                 
          layer and an inner surface of a panel.  The color filter layer              
          comprises at least two different color filters aligned with                 
          corresponding color phosphors in the phosphor layer.  Each of               
          the at least two different color filters transmits light of                 
          the color of its corresponding phosphor.                                    
               Claim 4 is the only independent claim on appeal, and it                
          reads as follows:                                                           
               4. A cathode ray tube comprising:                                      
               a panel; and                                                           
               a phosphor screen formed of a phosphor layer having at                 
          least two different color phosphors at separate locations of                
          said screen, and a color filter layer having at least two                   
          different color filters aligned with corresponding color                    
          phosphors at said locations, each of said color filters                     
          comprising a filter coating film which transmits light of the               
          color of its corresponding phosphor, said phosphor screen                   
          being formed on an inner surface of said panel, wherein said                
          color filter layer is formed between said phosphor layer and                
          the inner surface of said panel.                                            
               The references relied on by the examiner are:                          

                                          3
