Abstract

A cover glass includes a soda lime silica glass including SiO 2 , MgO, CaO, Na 2 O and Al 2 O 3 . The SiO 2 content in the silica glass is in the range of 60 wt % to 71.1 wt %, the MgO content in the silica glass in the range of 4.5 wt % to 15 wt %, the CaO content in the silica glass in the range of 0.5 wt % to 10 wt %, the Na 2 O content in the silica glass in the range of 10-20 wt %, the Al 2 O 3 content in the silica glass in the range of 0-10.3 wt %, the silica glass has the ratio [MgO]/[CaO] of larger than 1 and the Q value of 20 or larger, and the Q value is obtained by formula, Q =([MgO]/[CaO])X([CaO]+[Na 2 O]−[Al 2 O 3 ]), where [MgO] is the MgO content, [CaO] is the CaO content, [Na 2 O] is the Na 2 O content, and [Al 2 O 3 ] is the Al 2 O 3 content by mass percentage based on oxides.
