Appeal No. 95-3408
Application 08/003,448
Appellants have appealed to the Board from the examiner’s
final rejection of claims 16 to 22. Since the examiner indicated
the allowability of claims 16 to 18 at page 2 of the answer, only
claims 19 to 22 remain on appeal.
Pertinent portions of independent claim 19 on appeal are
recited below:
means for dividing said stored multi-level tone display data
into N kinds of data, where N is an integer of at least 2;
a data driver for outputting N kinds of multi-level tone
display data signals for one row during said one horizontal
scanning period of one frame in accordance with said divided N
kinds of display data.
Independent claim 21 reflects similar language in slightly
different words where N is an integer of more than two.
The following reference is relied on by the examiner:
Barbier et al. (Barbier) 5,053,764 Oct. 1, 1991
(Filed Oct. 3, 1988)
Claims 19 to 22 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as
being anticipated by Barbier.
Rather than repeat the positions of the appellants and the
examiner, reference is made to the briefs and the answers for the
respective details thereof.
