          Appeal No. 96-2025                                                          
          Application 07/860,254                                                      


          symmetrical voltage waveform as shown in Appellants' Figure 6.              
          In particular, Appellants argue on pages 13 and 14 of the                   
          brief that as indicated in Figure 6 (1), the modulation                     
          voltage applied to the N driving field has a width W1 which                 
          corresponds to the claimed binary coded signal.  Further, the               




          modulated voltage in the P driving field has a width W2 which               
          corresponds to the binary complement of the width of the                    
          binary code signal W1 applied to the N driving field.                       
          Combining this modulation voltage with the writing voltage                  
          illustrated in Figure 6 (2) provides the symmetrical voltage                
          waveform provided to the picture elements illustrated in                    
          Figure 6 (3).  Appellants further argue that as is clearly                  
          illustrated in Figure 6 (3) the voltage waveform applied to                 
          the picture element in the N driving field is symmetrical to                
          the voltage waveform applied to the picture element in the P                
          driving field.  As a result, Appellants argue that the                      
          Appellants' claims recite either a symmetrical drive method or              
          apparatus that provides this symmetrical voltage waveform to                
          the picture elements.  Appellants argue on page 15 of the                   
                                          7
