Abstract

A glass substrate with an antifouling layer includes: a glass substrate which has a pair of principal surfaces facing to each other; a cohesive layer provided on the side of one principal surface of the glass substrate; and an antifouling layer provided on a surface of the cohesive layer, wherein the cohesive layer has a layer, the layer is in contact with the antifouling layer, contains mainly a silicon oxide, and contains carbon atoms at a concentration of 5×10 18 atoms/cm 3 to 5×10 19 atoms/cm 3 .

Claims (29)

1. A glass substrate with an antifouling layer, comprising:

a glass plate which has a pair of principal surfaces facing to each other and an end face connecting the pair of principal surfaces;

a cohesive layer provided on one of the pair of principal surfaces of the glass plate and comprising a carbon-containing silicon oxide layer; and

an antifouling layer provided on a surface of the cohesive laver, wherein the antifouling layer is made of a cured product of a film-forming composition comprising a hydrolyzable silicon compound which comprises a fluorine atom,

the carbon-containing silicon oxide layer contacting the antifouling layer at a surface of the cohesive layer and comprising carbon atoms at a concentration ranging from 5×10 18 atoms/cm 3 to 5×10 19 atoms/cm 3 within a region having a depth from the surface of the cohesive layer of 80 nm or less,

wherein the glass substrate is a chemically strengthened glass.

2. The glass substrate with the antifouling layer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the surface of the cohesive layer in contact with the antifouling layer has an arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) of 3 nm or less.

3. The glass substrate with the antifouling layer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the cohesive layer comprises at least one layer and the number of layers included in the cohesive layer is in a range of from one to eight.

4. The glass substrate with the antifouling layer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the cohesive layer is a laminate in which a layer made of at least one compound selected from a silicon nitride, a niobium oxide, a tantalum oxide, and a zirconium oxide, and a layer made of the silicon oxide are stacked alternately.

5. The glass substrate with the antifouling layer according to claim 1 ,

wherein a root mean square roughness (RMS) of the one of the pair of principal surfaces is 10 nm or more.

6. The glass substrate with the antifouling layer according to claim 1 ,

wherein a root mean square roughness (RMS) of the one of the pair of principal surfaces is 1000 nm or less.

7. The glass substrate with the antifouling layer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the cohesive layer and the antifouling layer extend along from the one of the pair of principal surfaces to the end face such that at least part of the end face is covered by the cohesive layer and the antifouling layer.

8. The glass substrate with the antifouling layer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the cohesive layer extends along from the one of the pair of principal surfaces to the end face, and the antifouling layer extends along from the surface of the cohesive layer to a surface of the end face, such that at least part of the end face is covered by the cohesive layer and the antifouling layer.

9. A front plate for a display comprising the glass substrate with the antifouling layer according to claim 1 .

10. The glass substrate with the antifouling layer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the glass plate has at least one bending part.

11. The glass substrate with the antifouling layer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the glass plate is made of a chemical strengthened glass and has a surface compressive stress of from 450 to 1200 MPa.

12. The glass substrate with the antifouling layer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the antifouling layer has a thickness of from 2 to 20 nm.

13. The glass substrate with the antifouling layer according to claim 1 ,

wherein a water contact angle of a surface of the antifouling layer after a rubbing test is more than 102°, wherein the rubbing test is conducted by covering a surface of a metal indenter having a bottom surface of 10 mm×10 mm with a woven cotton, and by reciprocally sliding the indenter 50000 times under conditions of a weight of 1000 g, an average velocity of 6400 ram/min, and one way distance of 40 mm, while contacting the bottom surface of the indenter covered by the woven cotton with the surface of the antifouling layer.
