DETAILED ACTION
This Office Action is in response to Applicant’s Remarks filed on 07/07/2026.
Currently, claims 1-19 are pending in the application.
Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status
The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
Response to Amendments
Applicant' s arguments with respect to claim(s) 1-17 have been considered but are moot because the new ground of rejection does not rely on the same combination of references applied in the prior rejection of record for any teaching or matter specifically challenged in the argument.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(d):
(d) REFERENCE IN DEPENDENT FORMS.—Subject to subsection (e), a claim in dependent form shall contain a reference to a claim previously set forth and then specify a further limitation of the subject matter claimed. A claim in dependent form shall be construed to incorporate by reference all the limitations of the claim to which it refers.
The following is a quotation of pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, fourth paragraph:
Subject to the following paragraph [i.e., the fifth paragraph of pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112], a claim in dependent form shall contain a reference to a claim previously set forth and then specify a further limitation of the subject matter claimed. A claim in dependent form shall be construed to incorporate by reference all the limitations of the claim to which it refers.
Claim 15 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(d) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, 4th paragraph, as being of improper dependent form for failing to further limit the subject matter of the claim upon which it depends, or for failing to include all the limitations of the claim upon which it depends. The limitation of claim 15 “wherein the at least one first compensation line is electrically connected in parallel with the first anode extension line” appears verbatim in amended independent claim 1 and does not further limit the subject matter of claim 1. Applicant may cancel the claim(s), amend the claim(s) to place the claim(s) in proper dependent form, rewrite the claim(s) in independent form, or present a sufficient showing that the dependent claim(s) complies with the statutory requirements.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status.
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 102, if the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains. Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made.
Claims 1-5, 9-13, and 15-19 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being obvious over LI (US Pub. No. 2022/0367587) in view of ZUO et al. (Foreign Pub. No. CN 110890388 A, see attached English Translation).
Regarding independent claim 1, Li teaches a display device comprising (Fig. 3):
a first area (Fig. 3, 100a, ¶ [0029]) included in a display area (Fig. 2, 100, ¶ [0029]) arranged to display images, the first area arranged to allow light to be transmitted (¶ [0029]);
a normal area (Figs. 2 & 3, top portion of 100c, ¶ [0029]) included in the display area and located outside of the first area;
a second area (Fig. 3, 100b, ¶ [0029]) included in the display area and located between the first area and the normal area;
a first anode electrode (Fig. 12, OLED, ¶ [0071] teaches that Li’s light emitting devices have anodes) of a first light emitting element (Fig. 3, right 100a2 disposed in 100a, ¶ [0032]) disposed in the first area;

However, Li does not explicitly teach at least one first compensation line connected with at least a portion of the first anode extension line,
wherein the at least one first compensation line is electrically connected in parallel with the first anode extension line, thereby connecting the first anode electrode and the pixel circuit.
However, Zuo is a pertinent art that teaches at least one first compensation line (Fig. 11, 140, ¶ [0055]) connected with at least a portion of the first anode extension line (Fig. 11. 131, ¶ [0043] teaches a transparent conductive material layer individually connecting Zuo’s transistor to the rest of Zuo’s pixel electrode in a similar manner to Li’s transparent wire),
wherein the at least one first compensation line is electrically connected in parallel with the first anode extension line (¶ [0060] teaches that 140 and 131 are electrically connected in parallel), thereby connecting (Fig. 11, 140 and 131 individually connect Zuo’s pixel electrode to Zuo’s transistors) the first anode electrode (Fig. 11, 132 + 133, ¶ [0041]) and the pixel circuit (Fig. 11, 120, ¶ [0041]).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to modify Li’s transparent wire to be individually connected to an electrode compensation layer in parallel according to the teaching of Zuo (Fig. 11) in order to reduce resistance and improve conductivity of the individual connection between the transistors and pixel electrode (Zuo ¶ [0060]).
Regarding claim 2, Li modified by Zuo teaches the display device of claim 1, and Li teaches that one or more transistors (Fig. 3, 1011, ¶ [0030]) are disposed in the second area (Fig. 3, 100b, ¶ [0029]), and no transistor is disposed in the first area (¶ [0036] teaches that Li’s transistors that drive subpixels in 100a are disposed in 100b).

wherein the first anode extension line comprises a first transparent line (Li ¶ [0071]) disposed in the transparent conductive material layer, and wherein the at least one first compensation line comprises a metal line located in the second metal layer (Zuo’s electrode compensation layer 140 is a metal layer located below their pixel electrode. It would be obvious to have Li modified by Zuo’s auxiliary layer located below Li’s anode in a same layer as another metal layer such as Li’s metal layer 13 in order to reduce manufacturing costs), optionally wherein the at least one first compensation line further comprises a metal line located in the first metal layer (Li modified by Zuo teaches at least one option explicitly required by this claim).
Regarding claim 9, Li modified by Zuo teaches the display device of claim 1, and Li teaches a second anode electrode (Fig. 3, anode in 100a3 in 100a, ¶ [0033]) disposed in the first area;
a second pixel circuit (Fig. 3, 1011 connected to 100a3 in 100a, ¶ [0033]) disposed in the second area; and
a second anode extension line (Fig. 3, 102 connected between 1011 and corresponding 100a3) electrically interconnecting the second anode electrode and the second pixel circuit, wherein the second anode extension line has a shorter length than the first anode extension line (Fig. 3, 102 connected between 1011 and corresponding 100a3 is shorter than 102 connected between 1011 and the right 100a2).
Regarding claim 10, Li modified by Zuo teaches the display device of claim 9, and Li modified by Zuo teaches at least one second compensation line (Li modified by Zuo would have electrode compensation layers individually connected to each of Li’s anodes) connected with at least a portion of the second anode extension line (Li Fig. 3, 102 connected between 1011 and corresponding 100a3), wherein the at least one second compensation line has a different resistance (Zuo ¶ [0055] teaches that Zuo’s electrode compensation layer 140 can be made of silver or silver containing alloy. It would be obvious to select silver containing alloys for different electrode compensation layers in Li modified by Zuo’s device depending on desired electrical conductivity and/or light transmittance characteristics) from the at least one first compensation line, optionally (Li modified by Zuo teaches at least the limitations explicitly required by this claim) wherein the at least one second compensation line is electrically connected in parallel with the second anode extension line.
Regarding claim 11, Li modified by Zuo teaches a third anode electrode (Fig. 3, anode corresponding to 100a2 in 100b, ¶ [0033]) disposed in the second area (Fig. 3, 100b, ¶ [0029]);

a third anode extension line (Fig. 3, ¶ [0036] teaches that transparent wires 102 connected pixel circuits 1011 to corresponding subpixels. Therefore, subpixel 100a2 in 100b is connected to a corresponding pixel circuit 1011 through a transparent wire 102) electrically interconnecting the third anode electrode and the third pixel circuit, wherein the third anode extension line has a shorter length than the first anode extension line (It would be obvious that pixel circuits and corresponding subpixels in the same area 100b would require a shorter length transparent wire 102 than those required between pixel circuits in 100b and subpixels in 100a), optionally (Li modified by Zuo teaches at least the limitations explicitly required by the claim) wherein a compensation line is not electrically connected in parallel to the third anode extension line.
Regarding claim 12, Li modified by Zuo teaches the display device of claim 1, and Li teaches a cathode electrode (¶ [0033] teaches that Li’s subpixels include a cathode) commonly disposed (Figs. 2 & 3, ¶ [0033] teaches that Li’s subpixels include a cathode. Li’s subpixels are disposed throughout areas 100a, 100b, and 100c. Therefore, Li’s cathode is commonly disposed throughout 100a, 100b, and 100c) in the normal area (Figs. 2 & 3, top portion of 100c, ¶ [0029]), the second area (Fig. 3, 100b, ¶ [0029]), and the first area (Fig. 3, 100a, ¶ [0029]), wherein the cathode electrode comprises a plurality of cathode holes (Fig. 12, area occupied by cathode in OLED, ¶ [0033]) located in the first area.
Regarding claim 13, Li modified by Zuo teaches the display device of claim 1, and Li teaches a first optical electronic device (¶ [0086] teaches a light sensing unit corresponding to area 100a) overlapping the first area (Fig. 3, 100a, ¶ [0029]), wherein the first optical electronic device is arranged to receive light transmitted through the first area and perform a predefined operation by using the received light (¶ [0086] teaches that Li’s light sensing unit can be a camera. It would be obvious that a camera is capable of performing the predefined operation of taking a picture), and wherein the light received by the first optical electronic device is visible light, infrared light, or ultraviolet light (It would be obvious that a camera takes pictures using at least visible light).
Regarding claim 15, Li modified by Yu teaches the display device of claim 1, and Zuo teaches that the at least one first compensation line (Fig. 11, 140, ¶ [0055]) is electrically connected in parallel with the first anode extension line (¶ [0060] teaches that 140 and 131 are electrically connected in parallel).
Regarding independent claim 16, Li teaches a display panel (Figs. 2 & 3) comprising:
a display area (Fig. 2, 100, ¶ [0029]) that includes an optical area (Fig. 3, 100a, ¶ [0029]) allowing light to be transmitted and allows one or more images to be displayed (¶ [0032] teaches that 100a includes display pixels and would therefore be able to display images);
a light emitting element (Fig. 3, 100a2 disposed in 100a, ¶ [0032]) disposed in the optical area;
a pixel circuit (Fig. 3, 1011 connected to right 100a2, ¶ [0030]) disposed outside of the optical area;
an extension line (Figs. 3 & 12, 102 between 1011 and right 100a2, ¶ [0030]) electrically interconnecting an anode electrode (Fig. 12, OLED, ¶ [0071] teaches that Li’s light emitting devices have anodes) of the light emitting element and the pixel circuit.
However, Li does not explicitly teach at least one compensation line connected with at least a portion of the extension line wherein the at least one first compensation line is electrically connected in parallel with the extension line, thereby connecting the anode electrode and the pixel circuit.
However, Zuo is a pertinent art that teaches at least one compensation line (Fig. 11, 140, ¶ [0055]) connected with at least a portion of the extension line (Fig. 11. 131, ¶ [0043] teaches a transparent conductive material layer individually connecting Zuo’s transistor to the rest of Zuo’s pixel electrode in a similar manner to Li’s transparent wire) wherein the at least one first compensation line is electrically connected in parallel (¶ [0060] teaches that 140 and 131 are electrically connected in parallel) with the extension line, thereby connecting (Fig. 11, 140 and 131 individually connect Zuo’s pixel electrode to Zuo’s transistors) the anode electrode (Fig. 11, 132 + 133, ¶ [0041]) and the pixel circuit (Fig. 11, 120, ¶ [0041]).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to modify Li’s transparent wire to be individually connected to an electrode compensation layer in parallel according to the teaching of Zuo (Fig. 11) in order to reduce resistance and improve conductivity of the individual connection between the transistors and pixel electrode (Zuo ¶ [0060]).
Regarding claim 17, Li modified by Zuo teaches the display panel of claim 16, and Li teaches that a transistor is not disposed in the optical area (¶ [0036] teaches that Li’s transistors that drive subpixels in 100a are disposed in 100b), and wherein the at least a portion of the extension line (Figs. 3 & 12, 102 between 1011 and right 100a2, ¶ [0030]) is disposed in the optical area (Fig. 3, 100a, ¶ [0029]), and the extension line comprises a transparent line (¶ [0030]).
Regarding claim 18, Li modified Zuo teaches the display device of claim 1, and Zuo teaches that the at least one first compensation line (Fig. 11, 140, ¶ [0055]) connected with at least a portion of the first anode extension line (Fig. 11. 131, ¶ [0043] teaches a transparent conductive material layer individually connecting Zuo’s transistor to the rest of Zuo’s pixel electrode in a similar manner to Li’s transparent wire) through at least two contact holes (Fig. 11, ¶ [0059] teaches that 140 is connected to 131 through two via holes at opposite sides of 130, which would correspond to two opposite sides of Zuo’s light emitting device) at opposing sides of the first light emitting element such that the at least one first compensation line overlaps the first light emitting element (¶ [0045] teaches that 130 is the anode for Zuo’s OLED device. 140 overlaps 130. Therefore, 140 would overlap Zuo’s OLED device).
Regarding claim 19, Li modified by Zuo teaches the display panel of claim 16, and Zuo teaches that the at least one compensation line (Fig. 11, 140, ¶ [0055]) connected with at least a portion of the extension line through (Fig. 11. 131, ¶ [0043] teaches a transparent conductive material layer individually connecting Zuo’s transistor to the rest of Zuo’s pixel electrode in a similar manner to Li’s transparent wire) at least two contact holes (Fig. 11, ¶ [0059] teaches that 140 is connected to 131 through two via holes at opposite sides of 130, which would correspond to two opposite sides of Zuo’s light emitting device) at opposing sides of the light emitting element such that the at least one compensation line overlaps the light emitting element (¶ [0045] teaches that 130 is the anode for Zuo’s OLED device. 140 overlaps 130. Therefore, 140 would overlap Zuo’s OLED device).
Claim 6-8 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being obvious over LI (US Pub. No. 2022/0367587) in view of ZUO et al. (Foreign Pub. No. CN 110890388 A, see attached English Translation) and further in view of HAN et al. (US Pub. No. 2024/0324353).
Regarding claim 6, Li modified by Zuo teaches the display device of claim 5, and Li teaches an active layer (Fig. 12, P1, ¶ [0056]) located under the first metal layer (Li Fig. 8, 12, ¶ [0057]).
However, Li modified by Zuo does not explicitly teach that the at least one first compensation line further comprises a semiconductor material line disposed in the active layer, and wherein the semiconductor material line includes, in a conductive state, the same semiconductor material as a semiconductor material for forming a channel of a transistor in the display area.
However, Han is a pertinent art that teaches that the at least one first compensation line (Fig. 7a, 20, ¶ [0085] teaches an auxiliary electrode connected in parallel to an electrode of the light emitting device in order to reduce resistance in a similar manner to Zuo’s electrode compensation layer) further comprises a semiconductor material line (¶¶ [0111] & [0119] teaches that auxiliary electrode 20 can include a semiconductor in semiconductor layer 61) disposed in the active layer (Fig. 7A, 61, ¶ [0116]), and wherein the semiconductor material line includes, in a conductive state, the same semiconductor material as a semiconductor material for forming a channel (Fig. 7A, 61, ¶ [0116]) of a transistor in the display area (¶¶ [0111] & [0119]. Further, it would be obvious to use a same semiconductor material for a channel of a transistor and an auxiliary electrode in order to reduce manufacturing costs.).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to modify Li modified by Zuo’s auxiliary electrode to further include a semiconductor material in the active layer according to the teaching of Han (Fig. 7A) in order to reduce resistance of an electrode (Han ¶ [0085]).
Regarding claim 7, Li modified by Zuo teaches the display device of claim 5, and Li teaches a first buffer layer (Fig. 12, 107, ¶ [0058]) on the substrate;
a first active layer (Fig. 12, P1, ¶ [0056] ) on the first buffer layer;
a second buffer layer (Fig. 12, 108, ¶ [0060]) on the first active layer;
a second active layer (Fig. 12, P6, ¶ [0056]) on the second buffer layer (It would be obvious to arrange P6 to be on a layer above P1 in order to increase proximity to electrical connections (P6 is connected to 102 and moving P6 closer to 102 would reduce the need for another electrical connector such as 153). Further, it has been held that rearranging parts of an invention involves only routine skill in the art. In re Japikse, 86 USPQ 70.); and
a gate insulating layer (Fig. 12, bottom half of 109, ¶ [0061]) on the second active layer, wherein the first metal layer (Li Fig. 8, 12, ¶ [0057]) is located on the gate insulating layer.
However, Li modified by Zuo does not explicitly teach that the at least one first compensation line further comprises at least one of a first semiconductor material line resulting from conductivity-enabling of a first semiconductor material of the first active layer and a second semiconductor material line resulting from conductivity-enabling of a second semiconductor material of the second active layer, optionally wherein the first semiconductor material and the second semiconductor material are different from each other.
However, Han is a pertinent art that teaches that the at least one first compensation line (Fig. 7a, 20, ¶ [0085] teaches an auxiliary electrode connected in parallel to an electrode of the light emitting device in order to reduce resistance in a similar manner to Zuo’s electrode compensation layer) further comprises at least one of a first semiconductor material line (¶¶ [0111] & [0119] teaches that auxiliary electrode 20 can include a semiconductor in semiconductor layer 61) resulting from conductivity-enabling of a first semiconductor material of the first active layer (Fig. 7A, 61, ¶ [0116]) (¶¶ [0111] & [0119]. Further, it would be obvious to use a same semiconductor material for a channel of a transistor and an auxiliary electrode in order to reduce manufacturing costs.) and a second semiconductor material line resulting from conductivity-enabling of a second semiconductor material of the second active layer (Li modified by Zuo modified by Han teaches at least one option required by this claim), optionally wherein the first semiconductor material and the second semiconductor material are different from each other (Li modified by Zuo modified by Han teaches at least the limitations explicitly required by this claim).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to modify Li modified by Zuo’s auxiliary electrode to further include a semiconductor material in the active layer according to the teaching of Han (Fig. 7A) in order to reduce resistance of an electrode (Han ¶ [0085]).
Regarding claim 8, Li modified by Zuo modified by Han teaches the display device of claim 6, and Zuo teaches that the at least one first compensation line (Fig. 11, 140, ¶ [0055]) overlaps the first anode electrode (Fig. 11, 132 + 133, ¶ [0041]) and/or (Li modified by Zuo modified by Han teaches at least one of the options required by this claim) one or more other anode electrodes different from the first anode electrode.
Claim 14 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being obvious over LI (US Pub. No. 2022/0367587) in view of ZUO et al. (Foreign Pub. No. CN 110890388 A, see attached English Translation) and further in view of JEONG et al. (US Pub. No. 2021/0167163)
Regarding claim 14, Li modified by Zuo teaches the display device of claim 1, and Li teaches a third area (Figs. 2 & 3, bottom portion of 100c, ¶ [0029]) included in the display area (Fig. 2, 100, ¶ [0029]), wherein the third area comprises two or more transmission areas (Fig. 3, areas between subpixels 100c1, 100c2, and 100c3, ¶ [0031]) and a non-transmission area (Fig. 3, area occupied by subpixels 100c1, 100c3, and 100c3), wherein two or more light emitting elements are disposed in the first area (Fig. 3, 100a, ¶ [0032] teaches that area 100a includes a plurality of subpixels), and two or more light emitting elements (Fig. 3, 100c1 +100c2 + 100c3, ¶ [0031]) are disposed in the non-transmission area of the third area, and wherein a transistor is disposed in the first area, and transistors (Fig. 3, 104, ¶ [0035]) are disposed in the third area.
However, Li modified by Zuo does not explicitly teach that a transistor is disposed in the first area.
However, Jeong is a pertinent art that teaches that a transistor (Fig. 23, TR2, ¶ [0363]) is disposed in the first area (Fig. 23, A1, ¶ [0070]).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to modify Li modified by Zuo’s device to have at least one transistor disposed in the first area according to the teaching of Jeong (Fig. 23) in order to reduce manufacturing costs.
