`
`There are some few additional papers and grants
`
`that I received.
`
`Q
`
`Did any papers pertain to liquid crystal
`
`displays?
`
`A
`
`They were related to isometric displays,
`
`in
`
`particular the active matrix organic light—emitting
`
`diode displays.
`
`And some of the papers are related to TFT,
`
`to a
`
`new TFT technology called IGZO, and this new
`
`technology can be applied both to liquid crystal
`
`displays as well as to active matrix or LED displays.

`
`Q
`

`

`
`In addition to the scientific papers,
`
`there is
`
`a patent that has been issued in the spring that I'm a
`
`co—inventor.
`
`I also need to update in the patent

`
`I
`

`
`Q Were any of the grants that you've received
`
`recently that are not listed on this Appendix A ones
`
`you received from industry?
`
`A
`
`They were all from industry.
`
`Q Were any of them from any company outside the
`
`United States?
`
`A
`
`NO.
`
`These are U.S.—based companies.

`
`09:16
`
`Q What was the process that you went
`
`through to
`
`09:16
`
`prepare this declaration?
`
`09:16
`
`A
`
`I review the '102 Patent.
`
`I review prior art,
`
`09:16
`
`literature, namely, patents. And I received guidance
`
`09:16
`
`from the —— from the counsel related to the format and
`
`09:16
`
`the -— the process of preparing because this is a new
`
`09:17
`
`proceeding.
`
`By the time of
`
`'102,
`
`I have already prepared
`
`09:17
`
`09:17
`
`one or two.
`
`They may be not the sequence. This is
`
`09:17
`
`probably the third or the fourth in —— in a series of
`
`09:17
`
`five that I worked on in the fall of 2012.
`
`Q
`
`Did you do any prior art searching in
`
`connection with preparing this declaration?
`
`A
`
`I was provided with a folder of —— that
`
`included several pieces of —— of prior art, and I
`
`09:17
`
`09:17
`
`09:17
`
`09:17
`
`09:17
`
`became familiar with those pieces of prior art, and I
`
`09:17
`
`selected the ones most relevant to prepare this
`
`declaration.
`
`Q
`
`Who provided you that folder of prior art
`
`patents?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`A
`
`The counselor, Oblon.
`

`
`to,
`
`I guess, September of 2012.
`
`Before working on the '102 Patent,
`
`I worked on
`
`the '480 Patent, and the '102 and '480 share the same
`
`specifications.
`
`So right before '102,
`
`I became
`
`familiar with the '480.
`
`But prior to the September of 2012,
`
`I do not
`
`recall seeing these —— any of these patents.
`

`
`BY MR. SCHLITTER:
`
`Q
`
`Do you understand that this '102 Patent
`
`discloses first, second, and third internal conducting
`
`lines?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`So, for example, Claim 15 refers to a first
`
`internal conducting line and a second internal.
`
`conducting line.
`
`What do those correspond to,
`
`in your opinion,
`
`in the '102 Patent?
`
`MR. CORDREY: Objection.
`
`Form.
`
`THE WITNESS:
`
`The '102 Patent is describing
`
`connections between an extractor terminal and the
`
`common contact portions, and there are four sets of
`
`common contact portions that provide a signal to the
`
`counter electrode.
`
`Starting from the extractor terminal ——
`
`BY MR. SCHLITTER:
`
`Q
`
`A
`
`Are you referring to a figure?
`
`Figure 13 is the common contact portions, and
`
`Figure 3 lists the four sets in common contact —— the
`
`presence of four sets contact —— common contact
`
`portions.

`
`A
`
`Q
`
`A
`
`These are the 206a, 206b, 206c, 206d.
`
`Are extractor terminals shown in Figure 3?
`
`The ones connected to the common Contact
`
`portions are the 205a and the 205b.
`
`V
`
`Q
`
`Are there other extractor terminals in
`
`Figure 3, other than 205a and 205b?
`
`A
`
`Yeah.
`
`There are a plurality of —— of...

`
`Q
`
`Do you understand that numeral 205 was a lead
`
`09:27
`
`line going to inside of a dashed line to encompass
`
`09:28
`
`extractor terminals,
`
`to identify extractor terminals?
`
`09:28
`
`A
`
`Give me one second, please.
`
`09:28
`
`There are many extractor terminals highlighted
`
`09:29
`
`or labeled as 205 that provide electric power and
`
`09:29
`
`control signals from the outside to the various parts
`
`09:29
`
`on the substrate 201, and those parts are the
`
`09:29
`
`peripheral circuits that drive the display. These are
`
`09:29
`
`the —— peripheral circuits are the 203 and 204.
`
`And two of those extractor terminals are
`
`09:30
`
`09:30
`
`connected and provide the power to the common contact
`
`09:30
`
`portions which I have identify a moment ago, 206a,
`
`c and d.
`
`09:30
`
`09:30
`
`Q
`
`Are the two extractor terminals that provide

`
`847-406-3200
`
`
`
`power to the common Contact portions labeled in
`
`Figure 3?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`These are 205a and 205b.
`
`iAre 205a and 205b referred to in the '102
`
`Patent as common terminals?
`
`A
`
`That is correct.
`
`That is in Column 8, Line 15.
`
`It is
`
`electrically connected with common terminals 205a and
`
`205b, respectively.
`
`Let me read the whole quote.
`
`Column 8,
`
`Line 14, it reads,
`
`"The internal lines 207a and 207b
`
`extend to the extractor terminals 205

`
`and are electrically connected with
`
`common terminals 205a and 205b,
`
`respectively."
`
`So the bigger question, of course, related to
`
`the first internal conducting line and the second
`
`internal conducting line. These are lines that are
`
`used in these internal lines 207a and 207b.
`
`Q
`
`If you look at Claim 15, one of the elements of
`
`Claim 15 reads as follows,
`
`"A first internal conducting line
`

`

`
`the first internal conducting line and

`
`Is the first internal conducting line shown in
`
`Figure 3?
`
`A
`
`It is the line 207C.
`
`And in Column 9, Line 61, it reads,
`
`"The internal conducting lines 207C
`
`and the gate electrode 307 were
`
`created by the same processing step."
`
`Q
`
`Referring again to Claim 15, another element of
`
`Claim 15 reads as follows,

`
`the third
`

`
`conducting line and the third internal
`

`
`Is a third internal conducting line shown in
`
`Figure 3?
`
`A
`
`Let me first complete my answer to your
`
`previous question and I will answer this question.
`
`Your previous question was is a second internal
`
`conducting line shown in Figure 3, and I answered it
`
`is shown.
`
`And you asked me where is that shown, and I
`
`gave you an example of line 207a.
`
`Within the context of the limitations described
`
`in Claim 15, another example of the second internal
`
`conducting line is the line 207b.
`
`So if we look at
`
`the Claim 15,
`
`there are two lines that meeting the
`
`limitations of the second internal conducting line.
`
`Turning to the latest question, related to
`
`Claim 39,
`
`in the third internal conducting line,
`
`the —— one of those two lines, namely, 207a or 207b,
`
`can be Viewed as the third internal conducting line.

`
`
`
`So within the context of the Claim 39, one of
`
`the 207a and 207b is the third internal conducting
`
`line and the other is the second internal conducting
`
`line.
`
`Q
`
`You identified terminals 205a and 205b as the
`
`common terminals, correct?
`
`A
`
`That is correct.
`
`Q What material are those terminals formed from
`
`in the 'lO2 Patent?
`
`A
`
`The claims refer to the common terminal as
`
`being formed from the same layer as the pixel
`
`electrode, but the common terminals 205a and 205b, as
`
`shown in Figure 3, are electrically connected to the
`

`
`wiring that leads to 206a and 206d, and that wiring --
`
`since 207a and 207b, which we have identified them as
`
`the second internal conducting lines is made by the
`
`same material as the drain electrodes and the source
`
`electrodes,
`
`the layer of the common terminal made by
`
`the pixel electrode material is connected to the layer
`
`of material made by the source and drain electrode.
`
`So the common terminal or the extractor
`
`terminal is the multi—layer structure.
`
`The upper
`
`layer, referred to as the common terminal,
`
`is made by
`
`the pixel electrode layer, whereas the lower layer is
`
`made by the source and drain electrode layer.

`
`
`
`In this particular embodiment.
`
`It could be
`
`made with another material as well.
`
`It could be made
`
`with the same material as the —— as that used to make
`
`the first internal conductor lines.
`
`It is not clear
`
`how it is made.
`
`The claim specifies that the common terminal,
`
`the layer which is made by the pixel electrode
`
`material,
`
`is electrically connected to the first
`
`internal conducting lines.
`
`So someone skilled in the
`
`art could see that one way to do that is to have a
`
`layer of the first internal conducting lines being
`
`connected —— electrically connected in the extractor
`
`terminal region itself.

`
`The specifications are not clear, and I believe
`
`they're not providing a cross—section of the extractor
`
`terminals itself. There is enough detail in the
`
`cross—sections provided for the common contact
`
`portions.
`
`Another approach is to have the lower level --
`
`Q
`
`Stop right there.
`
`Where in the specification is there a
`
`disclosure that the common terminals are more than a
`
`single layer of material?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`In the specifications or in the claims?
`
`In ——
`

`
`For example,
`
`in Column 10, Line 15, it reads,
`
`"Moreover,
`
`the contact holes for
`
`connecting the internal conducting
`
`lines 318," and in parentheses,
`
`"207a
`
`and 207b," close parentheses, "with
`
`the common terminals 205a and 205b at
`
`the extractor terminals 205 were
`
`formed."
`
`So in this section here,
`
`Column 10,
`
`Line 15 to
`
`18, it indicates that in the extractor terminal we
`
`have the common terminals,
`
`and there is a Contact hole
`
`in the extractor terminal that connects with another
`
`layer, and that layer could be the same layer as that

`
`So someone skilled in the art would understand
`

`
`there must be another layer below it,
`

`

`
`That the extractor terminal is a multi—layer
`
`structure. And one layer, which you have it in the
`

`
`is the Indium tin oxide.

`

`
`If you look at Column 10, Line 36, beginning at

`
`"A thin metal film which would later
`
`be made into pixel electrodes 322 and
`
`the conducting pad 323 were formed to
`
`a thickness of 100 to 400 nanometers."
`
`Then there's —— that's a quote.
`
`Then
`
`there's another sentence which has to
`
`do with —— then there's another
`
`sentence after that that reads:

`
`Then the following sentence:

`

`

`
`The upper exposed metal
`

`
`But the section I quoted ——
`
`Q Meaning Lines 15 through 18?
`
`A
`
`Right.
`
`It says that at the extractor terminals
`
`there are Contact holes, and that the internal
`
`conducting lines and the common terminals are
`
`connected in the extractor terminal regions.
`
`So there are multi—layer structures that are
`
`connected. Different layers are connected in the
`
`extractor terminals.

`
`dielectric layers are the gate dielectric,
`
`the
`
`incremental dielectric between the scan line material,
`
`the gate dielectric metal, and the drain electrode
`
`metal. And then there is the passivation layer that's
`
`the third dielectric. All
`
`these are above the TFT
`
`structure.

`
`Are you referring to a figure?
`
`Figure 13.
`
`The gate dielectric in Figure 13 is unlabeled,
`
`correct?
`
`There's not a number by it?
`
`No, it's not labeled.
`
`But it's the one that would override the gate
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`lines or the gate electrodes?

`It would be below the gate electrodes.
`
`It
`
`would be between the gate electrodes and the
`
`semiconductor that makes the thin—fi1m transistor.
`
`That's the gate electrode in these structures here.
