          Appeal No. 96-1709                                                          
          Application 08/149,361                                                      


          and Sakariassen discussed above.  Therefore, this rejection of              
          claim 14 is also not sustained.                                             
                        3. The rejection of claims 1-3, 5, 6,                        
                         10-13, 15 and 17-19 as unpatentable                          
                         over the teachings of Shirochi,                              
                         Fujisawa and Nakayoshi.                                      
          This rejection is similar to the first rejection                            
          discussed above except that Nakayoshi is now cited instead of               
          Sakariassen.  The examiner cites Nakayoshi for the exact same               
          reason as Sakariassen, that is, as a teaching of a                          
          stereoscopic image LCD for the left and right eyes of a                     
          viewer.  Since the examiner relies on Fujisawa for the same                 
          reasons discussed above, and since the examiner’s reasons have              
          been found to be erroneous, we also do not sustain this                     
          separate rejection of claims 1-3, 5, 6, 10-13, 15 and 17-19.                
          The additional separate rejection of dependent claim 14 based               
          on this combination of references with Suntola added is                     
          deficient for the same reasons already discussed.                           








                                          9
