Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a chemically strengthened glass having enhanced surface strength and bending strength. The present invention relates to a chemically strengthened glass having a compressive stress layer formed on a surface layer thereof by an ion exchange method, in which a straight line obtained by a linear approximation of a hydrogen concentration Y in a region of a depth X from an outermost surface of the glass satisfies a specific relational equation (I) in X=0.1 to 0.4 (μm), and an edge surface connecting main surfaces on a front side and a back side of the glass has a skewness (Rsk) measured based on JIS B0601 (2001) being −1.3 or more.

Claims (11)

1. A chemically strengthened glass having a compressive stress layer formed on a surface layer thereof by an ion exchange method, wherein:

a straight line obtained by a linear approximation of a hydrogen concentration Y in a region of a depth X from an outermost surface of the glass satisfies the following relational equation (I) in X=0.1 to 0.4 (μm); and

an edge surface connecting main surfaces on a front side and a back side of the glass has a skewness (Rsk) measured by using a non-contact profilometer based on JIS B0601 (2001) being −1.3 or more:

Y=aX+b   (I)

[in the equation (I), meanings of each symbol are as follows:

Y: hydrogen concentration (in terms of H 2 O, mol/L);

X: depth from outermost surface of glass (μm);

a: −0.255 to −0.005; and

b: 0.020 to 0.215].

2. The chemically strengthened glass according to claim 1 , wherein the edge surface connecting the main surfaces on the front side and the back side of the glass has a concave part formed by an etching treatment.

3. The chemically strengthened glass according to claim 1 , wherein the glass is an aluminosilicate glass, a soda lime glass or an aluminoborosilicate glass.
