Abstract

The present invention relates to a chemically strengthened glass having a first surface and a second surface facing the first surface, and having a compressive stress layer provided on the first surface and the second surface, in which a depth of compressive stress DOL 1 (μm) of the first surface is larger than a depth of compressive stress DOL 2 (μm) of the second surface, and a stress distribution in a sheet thickness direction of the chemically strengthened glass satisfies the following relational expression (1) and the following relational expression (3): CT 1 /CT 2 ≦0.8  (1) and CT 1 ×L 1/2 ≦30 (MPa·mm 1/2 )  (3).
