of the voltage pulse type developed on parallel output
conductors 26' by different ones of the output amplifiers 26
(FIGS. 2-6) of a data strobe or strobe means or strobe circuit
28.” Col. 6, ll. 52-60. The examiner fails to allege, let
alone show, however, that the data strobe selectively
activates plasma channels in a group or that the data strobe
supplies signals each representing one of a group of primary
colors to a common data electrode one-by-one. Accordingly,
we are not persuaded that the teachings from the applied prior
art would have suggested the limitations of “a plasma driver
circuit (28) coupled to selectively activate the plasma
channels (20) in a group for selecting pixelelements (16)
associated with the activated plasma channel (20), and a data
driver circuit (24) receiving a video information V, and
supplying color data signals each representing one of a group
of primary colours to the common data electrode (18) one by
one ....” Therefore, we reverse the rejection of claims 2 and
4 as being obvious over Buzak in view of Kitajima.
