Abstract

Provided are an image display device capable of displaying a good image by suppressing yellowing of a glass substrate, and an evaluating method of the glass substrate. The image display device is formed using the glass substrate where reflectance at wavelength of 220 nm is 5% or lower. In the evaluating method of the glass substrate for the image display device, Sn ++ content in the glass substrate is analyzed using reflectance at wavelength of 220 nm.

Claims (69)

1. An evaluating method of a front-side glass substrate manufactured by a float method for an image display device, the evaluating method comprising:

measuring reflection spectrum at a wavelength of 180 to 280 nm;

dividing the measured reflection spectrum into two components by a curve fitting method using a following equation (2)

one of the components being a component with Gaussian peak at a wavelength of 220 nm and a correlation to Sn ++ , and the other of the components being a component with no correlation to Sn ++ ;

comparing areas of the components with Gaussian peak at a wavelength of 220 nm having a correlation to Sn ++ ; and

analyzing Sn ++ content in the front-side glass substrate,

wherein λ is a wavelength (nm), and M 1 to M 6 are fitting parameters.
