          Appeal No. 95-3285                                                           
          Application 07/984,427                                                       


               Finally, we note that the references relied upon and the                
          examiner do not appear to address the feature recited in each of             
          independent claims 3, 8 and 15 on appeal where any given pixel               
          state to be changed is taken from a potential equal to that of               
          the front plane electrode to a different potential for a                     
          predetermined period of time before restoring it to its former               
          potential equal to that of the front plane electrode.                        
               In view of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner                  
          rejecting the claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.            
                                       REVERSED
