             Appeal No. 2005-2268                                                          Page 7              
             Application No. 09/976,683                                                                        



             high-quality LCD as is known in the art, but can be any type of display."  Id. at ll. 55-62       
             (bolding added).                                                                                  


                   4. White does not expressly mention that its large display has a width on the               
             order of 42 inches.                                                                               


                   5. According to White, however, the large display can be used for advertising,              
             i.e., to show "a promotional program, . . . program video, and the like."  Col. 8, ll. 1-2        
             (emphasis added).                                                                                 


                   6. A display would have to be large enough to be noticed by passersby.                      


                   7. 42-inch-wide displays were known in the art.  Ito, col. 3, ll. 53-54.                    


                   8. Because White invites the use of any type of display, and a 42-inch-wide                 
             display would have made White's advertising promotions noticeable to passersby, we                
             find that those skilled in the art would have been motivated to employ a display of any           
             suitable size, including a 42-inch-wide display, with White's workstation.
