DETAILED ACTION
This Action is responsive to the communication filed on 12/07/2023.
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 .
In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis (i.e., changing from AIA to pre-AIA ) 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.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102
The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action:
A person shall be entitled to a patent unless –
(a)(2) the claimed invention was described in a patent issued under section 151, or in an application for patent published or deemed published under section 122(b), in which the patent or application, as the case may be, names another inventor and was effectively filed before the effective filing date of the claimed invention.
Claims 1 and 18-20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(2) as being anticipated by Cai (US 2023/0022759).
Regarding claim 1, Cai (see, e.g., FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 9, FIG. 19) discloses a display panel, comprising:
a plurality of pixel units e.g., plurality of P within 10, wherein each of the pixel units e.g., plurality of P within 10 comprises a plurality of light emitting devices e.g., organic light emitting devices (Para 0033, Para 0053);
a plurality of driving wires L1, L2 (Para 0049); and
a plurality of driving circuits 30 connected to the light emitting devices e.g., organic light emitting devices through the driving wires L1, L2 in a one-to-one correspondence manner, wherein each of the driving circuits 30 is configured to output a driving signal to an anode e.g., anode of organic light emitting devices of a corresponding one of the light emitting devices e.g., organic light emitting devices (Para 0050);
wherein a length of a corresponding driving wire L1, L2 of each of the light emitting devices e.g., organic light emitting devices in a same pixel unit e.g., plurality of P within 10 is negatively correlated with an on-status duration e.g., turn-on latency of the corresponding one of the light emitting devices e.g., organic light emitting devices, and each of the driving wires L1, L2 is a wire e.g., L1, L2 connected between an output terminal e.g., output terminal of 30 of each of the driving circuits 30 and the anode e.g., anode of organic light emitting devices of the corresponding one of the light emitting devices e.g., organic light emitting devices (Para 0062).
Regarding claim 18, Cai (see, e.g., FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 9, FIG. 19) teaches the display panel as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the driving wires L1, L2 is an indium tin oxide metal wire or an aluminum zinc oxide metal wire (Para 0054).
Regarding claim 19, Cai (see, e.g., FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 9, FIG. 19) discloses a display device, comprising:
a photosensitive device 201 (Para 0095); and
a display panel 100, wherein the photosensitive device 201 faces towards a transparent region AA2 of the display panel 100, the display panel 100 (Para 0033, Para 0034, Para 0095) comprises:
a plurality of pixel units e.g., plurality of P within 10, wherein each of the pixel units e.g., plurality of P within 10 comprises a plurality of light emitting devices e.g., organic light emitting devices (Para 0033, Para 0053);
a plurality of driving wires L1, L2 (Para 0049); and
a plurality of driving circuits 30 connected to the light emitting devices e.g., organic light emitting devices through the driving wires L1, L2 in a one-to-one correspondence manner, wherein each of the driving circuits 30 is configured to output a driving signal to an anode e.g., anode of organic light emitting devices of a corresponding one of the light emitting devices e.g., organic light emitting devices (Para 0050);
wherein a length of a corresponding driving wire L1, L2 of each of the light emitting devices e.g., organic light emitting devices in a same pixel unit e.g., plurality of P within 10 is negatively correlated with an on-status duration e.g., turn-on latency of the corresponding one of the light emitting devices e.g., organic light emitting devices, and each of the driving wires L1, L2 is a wire e.g., L1, L2 connected between an output terminal e.g., output terminal of 30 of each of the driving circuits 30 and the anode e.g., anode of organic light emitting devices of the corresponding one of the light emitting devices e.g., organic light emitting devices (Para 0062).
Regarding claim 20, Cai (see, e.g., FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 9, FIG. 19) teaches the display device as claimed in claim 19, wherein the photosensitive device 201 is a camera (Para 0095).
Allowable Subject Matter
Claims 2-17 are objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form including all of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.
