Appeal No. 1997-0799
Application 08/242,235
specifically, the noted wherein clause recites "said driving
circuit includes means for substantially eliminating an
increase in voltage between said discharge electrodes and said
data electrodes during the application of the discharge
pulse."
It is clear from the claimed and disclosed invention that
the claimed discharge electrodes relate to the anode and
cathode of the claimed plasma cell and the claimed data
electrodes relate to the data electrodes of the liquid crystal
cell. There is recited in this wherein clause a structural
relationship among the recited elements in the context of the
included means for substantially eliminating an increase in
the voltage between the recited electrodes during the
application of a discharge pulse. Thus, the claim is more
specifically concerned with the relationship of the voltages
between the electrodes of the plasma cell and the electrodes
of the liquid crystal cell rather than among the electrodes of
any one of these cells.
Although both references are concerned about the voltage
levels present within the overall display element as a whole,
