Abstract

A glass includes, as represented by mole percentage based on oxides, from 60% to 68% of SiO 2 , from 8 to 12% of Al 2 O 3 , from 12 to 20% of Na 2 O, from 0.1 to 6% of K 2 O, from 6.4 to 12.5% of MgO, and from 0.001 to 4% of ZrO 2 . In the glass, a total content of B 2 O 3 , P 2 O 5 , CaO, SrO, and BaO is from 0% to 1%. The glass satisfies 2×Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 ≦0.4 and 0<K 2 O/Na 2 O≦0.3.
