sub-frames is increased for reducing the false contour, it is not
necessary to increase the capacity of the frame memory 24
[emphasis added].
(Kida, col. 7, ll. 11-17).
We note that Wani also teaches shifting two neighboring scanning
electrodes so as to scan two horizontal lines at a time, although this
alternative method is applied only to the whole (i.e., progressive) scanning
subfield 2 (i.e., the subfield associated with addressing the upper four bits
[b7, b6, b5, b4] ):
As an alternative method of interlace scanning, two
neighboring scanning electrodes may be selected
simultaneously in the subfield that does not perform the
non-interlace scanning (i.e., a quasi-whole scanning).
Also in this case, the addressing period can be shortened
by shifting the two neighboring scanning electrodes
by one scanning line for writing data in the same
way as the interlace scanning.
(Wani, col. 6, ll. 32-39).
We agree with the Examiner that Wani does not teach applying a
common luminance value when addressing the sets of adjacent lines of the at
least one of the least significant subfields that is performed differently for
successive frames, for different regions of the display device, and/or for
different subfields (i.e., Wani does not teach scanning two rows
simultaneously with respect to the interlaced subfield described by Wani at
col. 3, ll. 45-54) (see Final Action 3, ¶ 2). For this teaching, the Examiner
