                    (a) a first deposited thin-film compensator                       
               layer having a first surface;                                          
                    (b) a second thin-film compensator layer                          
               deposited onto said first surface of said first

               said second deposited thin-film compensator layers                     
               are selected from the group consisting of: (i) a                       
               positively birefringent A-plate compensator layer,

               All of the claims which corresponded to the original

          interference.  The original independent claims were amended to              
          require the first deposited thin-film layer to be a positively              
          birefringent O-plate compensator layer.
