          Application 08/359,840                                                      

          Yanagisawa (EPA)              0 136 509      Apr. 10, 1985                  
          Matsueda1                     1-156725       Jun. 20, 1989                  
          (Japanese Patent)                                                           
               Claims 15 through 41 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §                  
          103.  As evidence of obviousness, the examiner relies upon                  
          Matsueda in                                                                 
          view of Yanagisawa as to claims 25 through 41, with the                     
          addition of Miyasaka as to claims 15 through 24.                            
               Rather than repeat the positions of the appellant and the              
          examiner, reference made to the briefs and the answer for the               
          respective details thereof.                                                 


                                       OPINION                                        
               We reverse both stated rejections generally for the                    
          reasons                                                                     
          set forth by appellant in the brief.                                        
               Each of independent claims 15, 25, 30, 38 and 40 recite                
          in                                                                          
          some manner an opaque conductive film provided between the                  
          pixel
