          Appeal No. 1997-0830                                                        
          Application 08/132,998                                                      



          We note that claim 75 recites a similar limitation.                         
                    On page 35 of Appellants' specification, lines 2                  
          through 5, Appellants state that                                            
                    since the liquid-crystal panel is a capaci-                       
                    tive load, the charging/discharging time                          
                    period thereof differs depending upon   a                         
                    resistance which intervenes between a ca-                         
                    pacitance portion and an external voltage.                        
          On page 35, lines 5 through 7, of Appellants' specification,                
          Appellants state that as the intervening resistance is higher,              




          the charging/discharging time period becomes longer.  Thus,                 
          Appellants disclose that the first voltage is provided with                 
          a smaller time constant by controlling the voltage divider                  
          circuit so that the impedance is smaller in the first period                
          than the impedance in the second period.  Therefore, Appel-                 
          lants' claims 64, 67, 70 and 75 are providing a control cir-                
          cuit for controlling the voltage divider circuit in a manner                
          that a voltage is applied to the pixels during the first time               
          period having a smaller time constant than a second time                    
          period.                                                                     

                                          9
