`Exemplary claim chart for
`U.S. Pat. No. 7,404,660
`
`The feature/functionality primarily relied upon for this chart is LCD navigation/entertainment display units found in
`Toyota and Lexus automobiles, including, for example, the Toyota 86140-06010 navigation system display.
`
`On present information and belief, IDT understands that Toyota currently offers multiple automobile models having
`LCD navigation/entertainment displays that are identical or substantially the same, at least with respect to the features
`relating to the elements of the asserted claims of the patent. The Accused Instrumentalities are identified by model in
`Exhibit A and further include any other Toyota and Lexus vehicles having LCD displays that operate identically or
`substantially in the same manner with respect to the features relating to the elements of the asserted claims.
`
`To the extent discovery later shows that the functionality of any accused product differs, at least with respect to the
`elements of the asserted claims, IDT reserves the right to amend or further supplement these contentions with
`additional information learned in the course of discovery or further investigation.

`Asserted Claims:
`1.
`A light emitting panel assembly comprising: a generally planar optical
`conductor having at least one input edge with a greater cross-sectional width
`than thickness; and a plurality of light sources configured to generate light
`having an output distribution defined by a greater width component than
`height component, the light sources positioned adjacent to the input edge,
`thereby directing light into the optical conductor; the optical conductor having
`at least one output region and a predetermined pattern of deformities
`configured to cause light to be emitted from the output region, the optical
`conductor having a transition region disposed between the light source and
`the output region.
`The assembly of claim 1 wherein the transition region is integral with the
`optical conductor.
`10. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the transition region and the output region of
`the optical conductor have substantially the same thickness.
`16. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the light sources are focused light sources.
