          Appeal No. 97-2028                                                          
          Application No. 07/954,290                                                  


          pages 12 and 13).  According to the examiner (Answer, page 11),             
          Figures 13 (a) through 13 (e) in Kanbe are clearly common subject           
          matter to the now claimed subject matter.                                   
               In the BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS section of Kanbe:             
          Figure 13(a) is described as showing “a waveform of a signal                
          applied to a selected scanning electrode in a still further                 
          embodiment;” Figure 13(b) is described as showing “a waveform of            
          a signal applied to non-selected scanning electrodes in the still           
          further embodiment;” Figures 13(c) and 13(d) are described as               
          waveforms showing “information signals applied to a selected                
          signal electrode and non-selected electrodes, respectively, among           
          signal electrodes which are to be provided with new image                   
          information;” and Figure 13(e) is described as showing “a                   
          waveform of a signal applied to a signal electrode which are not            
          to be provided with new image information.”  In the DESCRIPTION             
          OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS section, Kanbe states that:                    
                    Referring to FIG. 13, there is shown another                      
               embodiment of the driving mode according to the present                
               invention.  More particularly, a signal on a selected                  
               scanning electrode is shown in FIG. 13(a), a signal on                 
               a non-selected scanning electrode is shown in FIG.                     
               13(b), a selected information signal (corresponding to                 
               the presence of information) is shown in FIG. 13(c), a                 
               non-selected (corresponding to the absence of                          
               information) is shown in FIG. 13(d), and an information                
               signal which maintains a signal when last scanned is
