`
`
`
`DISCUSSION TOPICS
`
`During the interview, we would like to discuss the rejections, as well as possible claim
`
`amendments to overcome these rejections. In particular, we would like to discuss the following
`
`points.
`
`0 Pending rejection of claim 1 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over
`
`combination of US. Pat. App. Pub. No. 2016/0231843 (“Kim” hereinafter), US.
`
`Pat. App. Pub. No. 2011/0007042 (“Miyaguchi” hereinafter), US. Pat. App. Pub.
`
`No. 2016/0239050 (“Kim’050” hereinafter).
`
`o The proposed amendment to claim 1 recites the feature of “an auxiliary
`
`sheet attached to one end of the display panel to couple the display panel
`
`to the panel roller, wherein the auxiliary sheet mitigates the mechanical
`
`stress at the edge of the display panel when the display panel is rolled
`
`around the panel roller .
`
`.
`
`. and a first connecting member electrically
`
`connected to the control board to supply a data signal to the display
`
`panel.”
`
`0 The Office Action acknowledges that Kim fails to disclose any element
`
`corresponding to an “auxiliary sheet” recited in claim 1. See Office
`
`Action, p. 4, first paragraph.
`
`0 The Office Action states that the external connection wiring 301 of
`
`Miyaguchi allegedly corresponds to the auxiliary sheet of claim 1.
`
`However, the external connection wiring 301 of Miyaguchi corresponds to
`
`“a first connecting member” as recited in amended claim 1. Hence, in
`
`Miyaguchi, there is no component corresponding to the “auxiliary sheet”
`
`that couples the display panel to the panel roller, and mitigates the
`
`mechanical stress at the edge of the display panel when the display panel
`
`is rolled around the panel roller.
`
`
`
`PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
`
`1.
`
`(Proposed Amendment) A rollable display comprising:
`
`a display panel having a display area and a non-display area including:
`
`a scan driver configured to supply a scan signal to the display panel; and
`
`
`
`a reinforcing structure on a rear side of the display panel and a plurality of segments;
`
`a panel roller having a circumference surface onto which the display panel is rolled;
`
`a control board in the panel roller; [[and]]
`
`an auxiliary sheet attached to one end of the display panel to couple the display panel to the
`
`panel roller: wherein the auxiliafl sheet mitigates the mechanical stress at the edge of the display
`
`panel when the display panel is rolled around the panel roller; and
`
`a first connecting member electrically connected to the control board to supply a data signal
`
`to the display panel:
`
`wherein the scan driver is disposed on at least one side of the display area of the display
`
`
`panel and [[the]] a_plurality of data drivers are disposed along with a direction perpendicular to a
`
`rolling direction of the display panel,
`
`wherein the plurality of segments of the reinforcing structure are arranged along with the
`
`direction parallel to the rolling direction of the display panel.
