6. Claim 8 of Serbutoviez ‘312 reads as follows:
A polymerizable mixture as claimed in claim 5, characterized in that a quantity of
70-90% by weight of a liquid crystalline material is added to the mixture.
7. Claim 9 of Serbutoviez ‘312 reads as follows:
A display device comprising: a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal cell with a matrix
of individually drivable rows and columns of electrodes as well as means for
driving these electrodes, characterized in that a cell is manufactured from a
mixture, which predominantly comprises a liquid crystalline material as well as
two types of non-volatile, reactive monomers, the first type of monomer being an
ethoxylated acrylate and readily miscible with the liquid crystalline material and
the second type of monomer being poorly miscible with said liquid crystalline
material and a photoinitiator, wherein the mixture is sandwiched between two
substrates, which are provided with an electrode layer, and whereafter the mixture
is polymerized under the influence of radiation.
The Prior Art
8. The examiner has rejected the claims on appeal over Masayuki 01-1993, JP 05019240
(“Masayuki”).
9. The examiner relies on a computer translation of the Japanese language Masayuki
reference.
10. Masayuki is available as prior art against Serbutoviez ‘312 under 35 U.S.C. §102(b).
11. The Examiner’s Answer cites and relies upon four (4) specific numbered paragraphs
contained in the computer translation: 13, 15, 16, and 21.
