Abstract

A glass member includes a glass plate, on a first surface of which a functional layer is formed. A Martens hardness measured from a side of the functional layer of the glass member is 1100 N/mm 2 or more. The functional layer includes silica. A cut level difference RΔc obtained from a roughness curve for a surface of the functional layer is 2% or more. The cut level difference RΔc is obtained by subtracting a load length ratio for a cut level of 10%, Rmr(10), from the load length ratio for the cut level of 50%, Rmr(50). The load length ratio for the cut level c is obtained by formula Rmr  ( c ) = 1 L  ∑ i = 1 n   M  ( c ) i × 100 where M(c) i is a cut length of an i-th cut portion. By cutting the roughness curve at the cut level c within a region having a length L, n cut portions are obtained.

Claims (78)

1 . A glass member comprising a glass plate, on a first surface of which a functional layer is formed,

wherein a Martens hardness measured from a side of the functional layer of the glass member is 1100 N/mm 2 or more, the functional layer including silica, and

wherein a cut level difference RΔc obtained from a roughness curve for a surface of the functional layer is 2% or more,

the cut level difference RΔc being obtained by subtracting a load length ratio for a cut level of 10%, Rmr(10), from the load length ratio for the cut level of 50%, Rmr(50),

the load length ratio for the cut level c being obtained by formula

where M(c) i is a cut length of an i-th cut portion,

n cut portions being obtained by cutting the roughness curve at the cut level c within a region having a length L.

2 . The glass member according to claim 1 ,

wherein the functional layer includes the silica of 50 mass % or more.

3 . The glass member according to claim 1 ,

wherein the glass plate is made of soda lime glass or alumino-silicate glass.

4 . The glass member according to claim 1 ,

wherein the glass plate is chemically strengthened.

5 . The glass member according to claim 1 ,

wherein a surface glossiness of the functional layer is 100% or less.

6 . A manufacturing method of glass member, which includes a glass plate, comprising:

applying application liquid on a first surface of the glass plate to form a functional layer including silica, to make a cut level difference RΔc obtained from a roughness curve for a surface of the functional layer less than 2%; and

polishing the surface of the functional layer, to make the cut level difference RΔc obtained from the roughness curve for the surface of the functional layer 2% or more,

the cut level difference RΔc being obtained by subtracting a load length ratio for a cut level of 10%, Rmr(10), from the load length ratio for the cut level of 50%, Rmr(50),

the load length ratio for the cut level c being obtained by formula

7 . The manufacturing method of glass member according to claim 6 ,

wherein the cut level difference RΔc obtained after polishing the surface of the functional layer is five times the cut level difference RΔc obtained before polishing the surface of the functional layer or more.

8 . The manufacturing method of glass member according to claim 6 ,

wherein the surface of the functional layer is polished by using fixed abrasive grains.

9 . The manufacturing method of glass member according to claim 6 further comprising:

performing a chemically strengthening treatment for the glass plate on which the functional layer is formed.

10 . The manufacturing method of glass member according to claim 9 ,

wherein the chemically strengthening treatment is performed after applying the application liquid on the first surface of the glass plate but before polishing the surface of the functional layer, or the chemically strengthening treatment is performed after polishing the surface of the functional layer.
