          Application 08/232,459                                                      

               This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from                
          the final rejection of claims 1-8 and 10-15.  Claim 9 has                   
          been canceled.                                                              
               We reverse.                                                            
                                    BACKGROUND                                        
               The invention is directed to a color cathode ray tube                  
          (CRT) with a black matrix layer having an antireflection                    
          layer disposed on the surface of the CRT face plate without                 
          being interposed between the face plate and the black matrix                
          layer.                                                                      
               Claim 1 is reproduced below.                                           
                    1.  A color cathode-ray tube (CRT) including an                   
               antireflection layer and a black matrix layer on the                   
               inner surface of a face plate thereof, wherein said                    
               antireflection layer contains SiO  fine particles and is               
                                                2                                     
               deposited on the surface of said face plate without                    
               being interposed between said face plate and said black                
               matrix layer.                                                          

               The examiner relies on the following prior art:                        
               Kato                4,717,856           January 5, 1988

            Appellants claim the foreign filing priority benefit2                                                                      
          under 35 U.S.C. § 119 of Japanese Application 3-044664, filed               
          March 11, 1991, and provides a copy of the foreign                          
          application.  However, since no translation has been provided,              
          the foreign application does not technically overcome the date
