FIG. 1 also includes semiconductors 103 (Red, Green, and Blue semiconductors in this case) that are the light emitting elements in this example of a SMD LED
Regarding claim 11, Huber discloses The emissive panel of claim 1, wherein the first light source element is fabricated as a first group of light sources with a first set of primary wavelengths configured to transmit light intended for the left-eye image, and wherein the second light source element is fabricated as a second group of light sources with a second set of primary wavelengths configured to transmit light intended for the right-eye image.
[0049] and FIG. 1 shows the material body or “housing” 100 of the LED and the registration key or slot 104 used for aligning and holding the polarizer material or lens in a correct or proper rotation and orientation. FIG. 1 also includes semiconductors 103 (Red, Green, and Blue semiconductors in this case) that are the light emitting elements in this example of a SMD LED
Regarding claim 13, Huber discloses The emissive panel of claim 11, wherein the first light source element comprises a first filter and the second light source element comprises a second filter.
[0076] With respect to the grid, FIG. 12 shows an angled cross sectional view of the plastic or alloy front facing cover of a LED tile or module. FIG. 12 shows various elements making up the protective cover, including a plastic or alloy cover 1203 that contains left polarizer and filter 1201 and right polarizer and filter 1202.

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.
Claim(s) 14 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Huber (US 20180059429 A1) in view of Super et al. (US 20150170537 A1) (Super).
Regarding claim 14, Huber fails to disclose The emissive panel of claim 1, further comprising:
a plurality of audio ports integrated into the emissive panel.
In the same field of endeavor, Super discloses a plurality of audio ports integrated into the emissive panel.
[0030] microphone 170 can be integrated with or attached to stereoscopic glasses 180.
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one ordinary skill in the art before the effecting filing date the invention was made to incorporate the system/method of integrating microphone 170 to stereoscopic glasses 180 as disclosed by Super to the stereoscopic glasses as disclosed by Huber in order to provide an alternative input mechanism that allows use voice to provide instructions to computing device.
Allowable Subject Matter
Claims 22, 23-29 are allowed.
Claims 2-4, 7, 8 ,10, 12, 15 and 16 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.
