                 claim 1, including a step of forming an inorganic film on the                                                                          
                 colored layer before the step of forming the transparent                                                                               
                 conductive film.                                                                                                                       

                          2  The word, “the” was added in the amendment filed October                                                                   
                 26, 1993 (paper no. 9). Although,”the” was subsequently                                                                                
                 omitted in the amendment filed May 11, 1994 under Rule                                                                                 
                 116(paper no. 12), we conclude that the omission was                                                                                   
                 inadvertent and typographical. Therefore, “the” is present in                                                                          
                 claim 1, line 6.
