          Application No. 08/877,781                                                  


               said                                                                   



               predetermined observation point, for diffusing each                    
               pixel of said display device into a plurality of                       
               parts by utilizing diffraction or refraction,                          
               wherein a pixel mask gap interval is generated,                        
               corresponding in width to said predetermined                           
               recognizable limit view angle, between neighboring                     
               pixels after said diffusing of each of said pixels                     
               by said optical filter surface resulting in a                          
               focused display image viewable at said observation                     
               point.                                                                 
               The Examiner relies on the following references:                       
               Greenspan                3,877,802                Apr. 15,             
                                                                 1975                 
               Appellant’s Admitted Prior Art (APA)                                   
               Claims 1 to 3, 5, 7 to 9, 11 and 13 to 17 stand rejected               
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being obvious over either APA alone,               
          or over APA and Greenspan.                                                  
               Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant and the                  
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs  and the examiner’s2                                  
          answer for their respective positions.                                      
                                       OPINION                                        

               A reply brief was filed (paper no. 36) and was considered and  entered2                                                                     
          by the examiner, (paper no. 38).
