Application 08/054,125
moisture proof film formed on the other surface of the sub-
strate, and a second protection film formed on the moisture
proof film, wherein the moisture proof film consists of AlSiN,
and wherein a product of the refractive index of the moisture
proof film and the thickness thereof is 42 nanometers or less.
The Examiner relies on the following reference:
Ohta et al. (Ohta) 0,467,705 Jan. 22,
1992
(European Patent Application)
Claims 1, 3 through 6, 9 and 10 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Ohta.
Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellants
and the Examiner, reference is made to the briefs and answer 2 3
for the respective details thereof.
2On October 16, 1995, Appellants filed an appeal brief.
On February 10, 1996, Appellants filed a reply brief. On
September 30, 1996, the Examiner mailed a communication stat-
ing that the reply brief has been entered into the record.
3The Examiner has filed an Examiner's answer on December
4, 1998. The record shows that the Examiner had previously
filed three additional Examiner's answers. However, the case
was remanded to the Examiner on October 22, 1998 and in re-
sponse to the remand, the Examiner filed the Examiner's
answer dated December 4, 1998. Therefore, we will consider
only the Examiner's answer dated December 4, 1998 for this
appeal.
