          Application 08/368,133                                                      



          FLEMING, Administrative Patent Judge.                                       





                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
                    This is a decision on appeal from the final rejec-                
          tion of claims 1 through 6.  Claims 7 and 8 have been allowed               
          by the Examiner.                                                            
                    The invention relates to a "twisting ball" sheet                  
          medium for displaying an image wherein light falling on the                 
          medium, under an applied voltage, forces internal bichromal                 
          balls to rotate to show either the white or black side.                     
                    Independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                     
                    1.  Apparatus for generating an image from a light                
          source comprising:                                                          
                    a light source for generating a light image and                   
                    a display medium comprising,                                      
                         a flat substrate having two sides,                           
                         two conductive surfaces, one on each side of                 
          said flat substrate,                                                        




                                          2
