Appeal No. 2003-1776
Application No. 09/383,923
Appellants’ invention relates to a liquid crystal display device. An understanding
of the invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 1, which is
reproduced below.
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
a first substrate having a display unit on which pixels are formed at
intersections of gate lines for a plurality of rows and signal lines for a
plurality of columns, said gate lines and said signal lines being arranged in
a matrix;
a vertical drive circuit for driving said gate lines;
a horizontal drive circuit for outputting a time-series signal potential
in correspondence with a predetermined number of time-divided portions;
a time-division switch for time-dividing the time-series signal
potential output from said horizontal drive circuit and for supplying the
divided time-series signal potential to a given signal line among said
signal lines, said time-division switch having complementary transistors;
a select pulse generating circuit for generating a select pulse for
activating said time-division switch, a low-level potential of the select pulse
being set to be lower than a low-level potential of the signal potential
output from said horizontal drive circuit;
a second substrate opposing said first substrate with a
predetermined gap therebetween; and
a liquid crystal layer encapsulated between said first substrate and
said second substrate.
The prior art of record relied upon by the examiner in rejecting the appealed
claims is as follows:
