Abstract

The present invention provides a cover glass for a display, having high durability to slow cracking and strong abraded strength even though a compressive stress is large and a depth of a compressive stress layer is deep. The present invention relates to a cover glass for a display, in which a depth of a compressive stress layer (DOL) is 30 μm or more, a surface compressive stress is 300 MPa or more, a position (HW) at which a compressive stress is half of a value of the surface compressive stress is a position of 8 μm or more from a glass surface, and the depth of the compressive stress layer (DOL) and the position (HW) at which the compressive stress is half of the value of the surface compressive stress satisfy the following formula: 0.05≦ HW/DOL ≦0.23  (1).

Claims (23)

1. A cover glass for a display,

wherein a depth of a compressive stress layer (DOL) is 30 μm or more,

a surface compressive stress is 300 MPa or more,

a position (HW) at which a compressive stress is half of a value of the surface compressive stress is a position of 8 μm or more from a glass surface, and

the depth of the compressive stress layer (DOL) and the position (HW) at which the compressive stress is half of the value of the surface compressive stress satisfy the following formula:

0.05 ≦HW/DOL ≦0.23  (1).

2. The cover glass of claim 1 ,

wherein the depth of the compressive stress layer (DOL) is 75 μm or less.

3. The cover glass of claim 1 ,

wherein the cover glass has a thickness of 1.2 mm or less.

4. The cover glass of claim 1 ,

wherein the cover glass has a composition of 50 to 80% of SiO 2 , 2 to 25% of Al 2 O 3 , 0 to 10% of Li 2 O, 0 to 18% of Na 2 O, 0 to 10% of K 2 O, 0 to 15% of MgO, 0 to 5% of CaO and 0 to 5% of ZrO 2 in terms of mol %.

5. The cover glass of claim 1 ,

wherein the cover glass has a composition of 50 to 74% of SiO 2 , 1 to 10% of Al 2 O 3 , 6 to 14% of Na 2 O, 3 to 11% of K 2 O, 2 to 15% of MgO, 0 to 6% of CaO and 0 to 5% of ZrO 2 in terms of mol %, and

wherein the total content of SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 is 75% or less, the total content of Na 2 O and K 2 O is 12 to 25%, and the total content of MgO and CaO is 7 to 15%.

6. The cover glass of claim 1 ,

wherein the cover glass has a composition of 68 to 80% of SiO 2 , 4 to 10% of Al 2 O 3 , 5 to 15% of Na 2 O, 0 to 1% of K 2 O, 4 to 15% of MgO and 0 to 1% of ZrO 2 in terms of mol %.

7. A method for manufacturing the cover glass of claim 1 , the method comprising:

forming a compressive stress layer on a glass surface by subjecting a glass to an ion-exchange treatment;

heat-treating the glass at a temperature 50° C. or more lower than a glass transition temperature; and

further forming a compressive stress layer on the glass surface by subjecting the glass to an ion-exchange treatment.

8. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the ion-exchange treatments are performed at a temperature 50° C. or more lower than the glass transition temperature.
