Appeal No. 1997-0830
Application 08/132,998
time constant when said second voltage is output to the data
lines. Appellants point out that
independent claims 64, 67, 70 and 75 set forth the above
limita- tions in that a voltage is applied to the pixels
during the first time period having a smaller time constant
than a second time period, thus enabling the voltage to be
applied to the pixels at a high rate of speed.
The Examiner responds to Appellants' arguments on
page 10 of the answer stating that this argument is not per-
suasive since none of the advantages presented by the Appel-
lants is recited in the claims. On page 11 of the answer, the
Examiner states that Yamazaki clearly suggests the claim
limitations in that the selected voltage applied in period t6
of data signal has a time period smaller than the non-selected
voltage applied in period T1-T6 as shown in figure 9a.
Appellants further argue on pages 3 through 5 of the
reply brief that Yamazaki fails to teach or suggest providing
a first voltage to the pixels during the first time period
having a smaller time constant than the second time period.
