component of the color picture generating an electrical red
value signal (R), a green component of the color picture
generating an electrical green value signal (G), and a blue
component of the color picture generating an electrical blue
value signal (B), which signals are supplied to a
parallel/serial converter (11) and an amplifier circuit (3,
32, 42) for a white compensation and a brightness
compensation, wherein the amplifier circuit (3) comprises a
first amplifier (17) in a separate channel (12) for a white
compensation of the red value signal (R), a second amplifier
(18) in a second channel (14) for a white compensation of
the blue value signal (B), and a third, separate channel
(13) for the brightness compensation of the green value

THE REJECTIONS
The claims stand rejected as follows: claims 1-3 under
35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated by Suzuki; claim 4 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as obvious over Suzuki; claim 5 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as obvious over Suzuki in view of Khoury; and claim 6 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as obvious over Suzuki in view of Opris.1
1 The examiner relies upon U.S. 5,969,759 to Morimoto and
5,128,533 to Oguchi in support of the rejection of claims 1-3
(answer, pages 4-7). Because those references are not included
in the statement of the rejection, they are not properly before
us. See In re Hoch, 428 F.2d 1341, 1342 n.3, 166 USPQ 406, 407
n.3 (CCPA 1970). Consequently, we do not consider those
references in reaching our decision.
