Abstract

A cover glass, containing, by mole percentage: 15 to 40% of P 2 O 5 ; 15 to 30% of Al 2 O 3 ; 0 to 15% of SiO 2 ; 0 to 20% of B 2 O 3 ; 0 to 10% of Li 2 O; 0 to less than 20% of Na 2 O; 0 to less than 20% of K 2 O, provided that Li 2 O+Na 2 O+K 2 O is in a range from 15 to less than 20%; and from 1 to 35% of MgO+CaO+SrO+ZnO. The cover glass being suitable for at least one selected from the group consisting of a solid-state imaging element package and an air-tight sealing of a resin package, and having a sufficient strength not to undergo breakage even when subjected to external force.
