Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide near infrared cutoff filter glass having a high transmittance in a visible light range and a low transmittance in a near infrared light range and being excellent in the devitrification resistance, even though the concentration of Cu components in the glass is high for forming a thin plate. A near infrared cutoff filter glass, which comprises, as represented by cation percentage: P 5+ 30 to 50%, Al 3+ 5 to 20%, R + 20 to 40% (wherein R + is the total amount of Li + +Na + +K + ), R′ 2+ 5 to 30% (wherein R′ 2+ is the total amount of Mg 2+ +Ca 2+ +Sr 2+ +Ba 2+ +Zn 2+ ), Cu 2+ 3 to 15% and comprises, as represented by anion percentage: O 2− 30 to 90% and F − 10 to 70%, wherein (Li + +Na + +K + )/(P 5+ +Al 3+ ) is from 0.45 to 1.0, and (Sr 2+ +Ba 2+ +Cu 2+ )/(Al 3+ +Mg 2+ +Ca 2+ ) is from 0.5 to 1.0.
