Abstract

A glass composition having high refractive index, softening property at low temperature and small average thermal expansion coefficient, and a member provided with the composition on a substrate, are provided. The glass composition of the present invention has a refractive index (n d ) of from 1.88 to 2.20, a glass transition temperature (T g ) of from 450 to 490° C., and an average thermal expansion coefficient at temperatures from 50° C. to 300° C. (α 50-300 ) of from 60×10 −7 /K to 90×10 −7 /K, and includes Bi 2 O 3 in an amount of from 5 to 25% in terms of mol % on the basis of oxides.

Claims (24)

A glass composition having a refractive index (n d ) of from 1.88 to 2.20, a glass transition temperature (T g ) of from 450 to 490° C. and an average thermal expansion coefficient at temperatures from 50° C. to 300° C. (α 50-300 ) of from 60×10 −7 /K to 85×10 −7 /K, and comprising Bi 2 O 3 in an amount of from 5 to 25% in terms of mol % on the basis of oxides.

2. The glass composition according to claim 1 , comprising, in terms of mol % on the basis of oxides:
