depiction. Note the abstract at lines 10 to 19; col. 1, lines
25 through 37; col. 5, lines 13 through 15; col. 5, line 64
through col. 6, line 19 and col. 6, lines 32 through 48 as
they relate to teachings associated with Fig. 6 of Collender.
The essential means to achieve this approach is by means
of 24 CCDLCLV x-y planar elements over arrayed in an arc
corresponding to the showing of element 2 in Figs. 1 and 2B.
In contradistinction to appellants’ arguments, each of these
elements is not merely a CCD but is also a liquid crystal
light valve LCLV. Appellants’ own positions in the brief
relative to Collender indicate that the charged couple array
provides a data storage capability which feeds the liquid
crystal light valves in parallel with data collected in the
CCD’s. Thus, the planar type image of a television frame in
Collender is permitted to be depicted substantially
simultaneously to the extent claimed. From an artisan’s
perspective then, the teachings in Collender would have been
an obvious enhancement to the overall approach taken by Hirsch
since entire television frames of information may be depicted
in the same manner that a motion picture frame 146 in Hirsch
may be depicted in its entirety in a successive manner and,
