`
`engineering, or an equivalent field, and two to three years of experience working
`
`in the relevant field, which includes display and/or related user interface device
`
`technologies.
`
`14. Based on my experience and expertise, it is my opinion that certain
`
`references disclose all the features recited in the claims of the ’503 patent.

`IV. Overview of the ’503 Patent
`
`15. The ’503 patent issued from U.S. Application No. 12/148,998 (“the ’998
`
`application”) and is directed to a “capacitive type touch panel”. Ex. 1001, Abstract.
`
`The ‘503 patent purports to eliminate the difficulty in identifying the location
`
`touched by the user. Id. At 1:46-47.
`
`16. FIG. 2 of the ’503 patent discloses a capacitive type touch panel, which
`
`includes transparent substrate 3 having opposite top and bottom surfaces 31, 32;
`
`array of first conductors 41 formed on the top surface 31 of the transparent
`
`substrate 3; array of second conductors 42 formed on top surface 31 of transparent
`
`substrate 3 and disposed alternately with first conductors 41; plurality of spaced
`
`apart conductive first bridging lines 412, each of which interconnects two adjacent
`
`ones of first conductors 41; plurality of spaced apart conductive second bridging
`
`lines 422, each of which interconnects two adjacent ones of the second conductors
`
`42 and each of which intersects insulatively a respective one of first bridging lines
`
`412; and plurality of spaced apart insulators 5, each of which is disposed at an
`
`intersection of a respective one of the first bridging lines 412 and the respective
`
`one of the second bridging lines 422 so as to separate the respective one of the first
`
`bridging lines 412 from the respective one of the second bridging lines 422. The
`
`first and second conductors 41, 42 and the first and second bridging lines 412, 422
`
`cooperatively form into a matrix of capacitive regions when a current is applied to

`
`Wintek Exhibit 1029
`IPR2013-00568
`
`

`
`Declaration of Dr. George E. Gerpheide
`Regarding Petition for IPR of U.S. Patent No. 7,864,503
`first and second conductors 41, 42 and the first and second bridging lines 412, 422.
`
`See Id. at 2:28-52.
`
`
`
`17. The ’503 patent further discloses that each of the first and second conductors
`
`41, 42 is formed with a plurality of holes 413, 423, and more preferably, each of
`
`the holes 413, 423 is a through-hole. Since the area of each of the first and
`
`second conductors 41, 42 is a key parameter to the capacitance, sensitivity in
`
`detecting the coordinates of a touched location by the user can be adjusted
`
`through changing of the number and/or the diameter of the holes 413, 423. Id.
`
`2:58-65.
`
`18. The ‘503 patent further discloses plurality of conductive first connecting lines
`
`61 formed on the top surface 31 of the transparent substrate 3, and the plurality of
`

`
`

`
`Declaration of Dr. George E. Gerpheide
`Regarding Petition for IPR of U.S. Patent No. 7,864,503
`conductive second conducting lines 62 formed on the top surface 31 of the
`
`transparent substrate 3. The first conductors 41 are arranged into parallel columns.
`
`The first conductors 41 of each of the columns are interconnected by respective
`
`ones of the first bridging lines 412. The second conductors 42 are arranged into
`
`parallel rows. The second conductors 42 of each of the rows are interconnected
`
`by respective ones of the second bridging lines 422. Each of the first connecting
`
`lines 61 is connected to an endmost one of the first conductors 41 of respective
`
`one of the columns of the first conductors 41. Each of the second connecting
`
`lines 62 is connected to an endmost one of the second conductors 42 of a
`
`respective one of the rows of the second conductors 42. Id. 3:21-36.
`
`19. ‘503 patent further discloses the plurality of first bonding wires 63 and the
`
`plurality of second bonding wires 64. Each of the first bonding wires 63 is
`
`connected to a respective one of the first connecting lines 61, and extends
`
`outwardly therefrom through a side edge 33 of the transparent substrate 3. Each
`
`of the second bonding wires 64 is connected to a respective one of the second
`
`connecting lines 62, and extends outwardly therefrom through the side edge 33 of
`
`the transparent substrate 3. The first and the second bonding wires 63, 64 are
`
`normally formed on a flexible board. A controller 2 is connected to the first and
`
`second bonding wires 63, 64 for detecting the location where a change in the
`
`electric field among first and second conductors 41, 42 occurs during the use of

`the capacitive type touch panel. Id. 3:38-51.
`
`
`
`V. Claim Construction
`
`20. I understand that in these types of proceedings, a claim is given its
`
`broadest reasonable construction in light of the specification of the patent in
`
`which it appears. I also understand that, at the same time, claim terms are
`
`given their ordinary and customary meaning as would be understood by one of
`
`ordinary skill in the art. I have followed these principles in my analysis. I
`
`discuss a claim term below and what I understand to be Petitioner’s construction
`
`of the term.
`
`21. Claims 1-12 of the ‘503 patent recite “transparent substrate” in similar
`
`context. Applying the broadest reasonable construction, consistent with the
`
`9
`
`Page 13 of 77
`
`Wintek Exhibit 1029
`IPR2013-00568
`
`

`
`Declaration of Dr. George E. Gerpheide
`Regarding Petition for IPR of U.S. Patent No. 7,864,503
`specification, the term “transparent substrate” as used in claims 1-12 of the ‘503
`
`patent includes a substrate with a transmittance of less than 100 percent. The
`
`amount of transparency of a substrate is determined by its transmittance, and
`
`transmittance is defined as the amount of light that travels through the substrate.
`
`The amount of light transmitted through the substrate is determined by 1) the
`
`substrate’s thickness, 2) the wavelength of the incident light on the substrate, and
`
`3) the refractive index of the material that is used to build the substrate. (Ex.
`
`1013 Technical Information, Optics for Devices, Transmittance of Optical Glass,
`
`University of Arizona, October 2005, “http:// fp.optics.arizona.edu/optomech/
`
`references/glass/Schott/tie35_transmittance_us.pdf ). The ‘503 specification does
`
`not provide the details of the thickness of the substrate nor the wavelength of the
`
`light. The materials described in the ‘503 specification have a wide range of
`
`refractive
`
`indexes,
`
`thus generating substrates with differing
`
`levels of
`
`transmittance and varying degrees of transparency, none of which is perfectly
`
`100% transparent. Therefore, applying the broadest reasonable construction, the
`
`term “transparent substrate” should be construed as a substrate with transparency
`
`less than 100% and varying depending on which materials are used; and in my
`
`opinion this meaning would commonly be expressed as the term “substantially
`
`transparent substrate”.
`
`22. Claim 5-8 of the ’503 patent recite “plurality of holes” in similar context.
`

`Wintek Exhibit 1029
`IPR2013-00568
`
`

`
`Declaration of Dr. George E. Gerpheide
`Regarding Petition for IPR of U.S. Patent No. 7,864,503
`Applying the broadest reasonable construction, consistent with the specification,
`
`the term “plurality of holes” as used in claims 5-8 of the ’503 patent means that
`
`holes are made on the conductive film and once the hole is made no material
`
`exists on the conductive film where the holes are located. I understand that the
`
`Petitioner has offered that the broadest reasonable construction of the term
`
`“plurality of holes” that is consistent with the specification is that “holes are
`
`made on the conductive film and once the hole is made no material exists on the
`
`conductive film where the holes are located” I have used this construction in my
`
`analysis and agree with it because the claim language and the examples in the
`
`specification support this construction.
`
`23. Claim 6 of the ’503 patent recites “through-holes” in similar context.
`
`Applying the broadest reasonable construction, consistent with the specification,
`
`the term “through-holes” as used in claims 5-8 of the ’503 patent means that
`
`holes are made on the conductive film and once the hole is made no material
`
`exists on the conductive film where the holes are located. I understand that the
`
`Petitioner has offered that the broadest reasonable construction of the term
`
`“through holes” that is consistent with the specification is that “holes are made on
`
`the conductive film and once the hole is made no material exists on the
`
`conductive film where the holes are located.” I have used this construction in my
`
`analysis and agree with it because the claim language and the examples in the

`specification support this construction.
`
`VI. Certain References Disclose All the Claimed Features of the ’503
`Patent
`
`24. In my opinion, several references disclose the features recited in the
`
`claims of the ’503 patent.
`
`A. Fujitsu, Either Individually or in Combination with Other References,
`
`Discloses All the Claimed Features
`
`25. In my opinion, Fujitsu, either individually or in combination with other
`
`references, i.e., Bolender, Lai, Takeda, Aoki, Fong, Jain, Seguine, Chen,
`
`Ohtake, Nakanishi-1, and Naknishi-2 discloses the features recited in the claims
`
`of the ’503 patent. It is noted that the English translation of Fujitsu (Ex. 1006)
`
`contains page and line references which I have cited in this report, and Petitioner
`
`indicates that each such reference relates the English text following in Ex. 1006
`
`to a location in the Japanese Fujitsu patent Ex. 1005.
`
`1. Fujitsu Discloses Each and Every Feature Recited in claims 1, 2,
`and 3.
`
`26. In my opinion, and as shown in the chart below, Fujitsu discloses each and
`
`every feature recited in claims 1, 2, and 3.
