Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
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, 3 ,4, 7 and 21-23 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Wang (US 20030122476 A1) in view of Song (DE 102010030886 A1, cited previously)
Regarding claim 1, Wang teaches a display device (Fig.7B; claims of Wang) comprising: a lower substrate 42 and 44 and including a first area 46I and a second area 46II surrounding the first area on a plane; a first filler 46I disposed on a central part of the lower substrate, overlapping the first area, a second filler 46II disposed on the lower substrate, overlapping the second area, disposed on a same layer as the first filler, wherein the second filler surrounds the first filler; an upper substrate 48 disposed on the first filler and the second filler; and a sealing member 72 disposed between the lower substrate and the upper substrate, wherein the sealing member contacts and surrounds the second filler.
Wang does not teach the display including a plurality of pixels; and each filler including a first catalyst and a second catalyst, respectively.
Song teaches a display including a plurality of pixels (see in Song: HIL, HTL, ETL, and EIL are common layers, and they can be applied together to red, green, blue pixels) and filler that is a catalyst in:
The silicone polymer of the internal filler 140 can be networked through various mechanisms. For example, the silicone polymer can be crosslinked by an addition curing reaction. The addition-curing reaction does not generate by-products, and since the amount of a metal catalyst used for the reaction is very small, the addition-curing reaction may not cause a sub-reaction in the organic light emitting diode. Also, the metal catalyst can be continuously reused.
AND
The addition-curing reaction may be carried out in the presence of a metal catalyst. Non-limiting examples of the metal catalyst may include Pt, Zn and Sn.
Therefore, from the teachings of Song, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, before the effective filing date of the invention to use the platinum catalyst in the filler of Wang in order to reuse the catalyst.
Regarding clam 3, Wang in view of Song teaches a display device display device, wherein the second filler is disposed between the
first filler and the sealing member on the plane, and the sealing member contacts the second filler (see Fig.7B and rejection in claim 1 above, the same citations apply).
Regarding clam 4, Wang in view of Song teaches a display device display device, wherein the first and second catalyst include platinum (Pt).
(from the teachings of Song: The addition-curing reaction may be carried out in the presence of a metal catalyst. Non-limiting examples of the metal catalyst may include Pt, Zn and Sn)
Regarding clam 7, Wang in view of Song teaches a display device display device, wherein the first filler and the second filler have a same height (see the bottom and top of the first and second fillers in Wang).
Regarding clam 21, Wang in view of Song teaches a display device display device, wherein the first filler, the second filler, and the sealing member have a same height (see the bottom and top of the first, second fillers and portion of 72 that is considered as sealant that seals the first and second fillers in Wang as shown below).

Greyscale
Although the sealing member has extensions beyond the height of the first and second fillers, however, the height that overlaps the first and second fillers are considered as the sealing member, as it is well known in the art to either use the sealing member with same height as the first and second fillers, OR extend the sealing member below and above as indicated in Song, and such variations towards covering the device by the sealing member, involves routine skill in the art.
Regarding clam 22, Wang in view of Song teaches a display device, wherein the first filler, the second filler, and the sealing member are each disposed directly on the lower substrate 42 (Wang) on the plane.
Regarding clam 23, Wang in view of Song teaches a display device, wherein the sealing member 72 (Wang) is disposed overlapping the second area and on a same layer as the first filler and the second filler.
Claims 8, 27-28 and 30 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Wang (US 20030122476 A1) and Park (US 20190204638 A1) and further in view of Song (DE 102010030886 A1, cited previously)
Regarding claim 8, Wang teaches a display device comprising: a lower substrate 42 and 44 including a display area 44 and a peripheral area surrounding the display area; a first filler 46I disposed on the lower substrate, overlapping the display area, a second filler 46II disposed on the lower substrate, a sealing member 72 disposed overlapping the peripheral area and on a same layer as the first filler and the second filler; and an upper substrate 48 disposed on the first filler, the second filler, and the sealing member.
Since Wang teaches the display part 44 that is protruded from the lower substrate 42, and is therefore the display part is an extension of the lower substrate 42, hence Wang does not explicitly teach: the second filler 46II overlapping the display area 44 (since the display area 44 is of limited width in Wang and it does not overlap the second filler).
However, it is a matter of design to either use the display substrate/elements 44 on top of the lower support substrate 42; or to directly form the display part as part of the lower substrate, such that the second filler overlaps the display area as the display part would stretch the entire length while being within the lower substrate.
This feature is shown in Park:
Wherein in Fig.6E and 6F (wherein IP1 is the filler and SS1 and SS2 are the sealants with fillers), whereas the display substrate is shown throughout the base 100, wherein the display part does not protrude from the substrate, and in turn is part of the lower substrate (see in Park: [0057]) and it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, before the effective filing date of the invention to use the display section within the lower substrate in Wang, from the teachings of Park, such that the second filler overlaps the display area of Wang, in order to save space and form a compact display substrate.
Wang in view of Park does not teach the display including a plurality of pixels; and each filler including a first catalyst and a second catalyst, respectively.
Song teaches a display including a plurality of pixels (see in Song: HIL, HTL, ETL, and EIL are common layers, and they can be applied together to red, green, blue pixels) and filler that is a catalyst in:
The silicone polymer of the internal filler 140 can be networked through various mechanisms. For example, the silicone polymer can be crosslinked by an addition curing reaction. The addition-curing reaction does not generate by-products, and since the amount of a metal catalyst used for the reaction is very small, the addition-curing reaction may not cause a sub-reaction in the organic light emitting diode. Also, the metal catalyst can be continuously reused.
AND
The addition-curing reaction may be carried out in the presence of a metal catalyst. Non-limiting examples of the metal catalyst may include Pt, Zn and Sn.
Therefore, from the teachings of Song, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, before the effective filing date of the invention to use the platinum catalyst in the filler of Wang in view of Park in order to reuse the catalyst.
Regarding clam 24, Wang in view of Park and Song teaches a display device, wherein the first filler 46I (Fig.7B of Wang) is disposed directly on a central part of the lower substrate 42, and the second filler 46II is disposed directly on the lower substrate, wherein the second filler surrounds the first filler.
Regarding clam 25, Wang in view of Park and Song teaches a display device, wherein the sealing member 72 (Wang) contacts a sidewall of the second filler and surrounds the second filler.
Regarding clam 27, Wang in view of Park and Song teaches a display device, wherein the second filler 46II (in Wang) is disposed between the first filler 46I and the sealing member 72 on a plane.
