Abstract

A strengthened glass has a mirror constant A of 1.97 MPa·m 0.5 or less, a surface compressive stress (CS) of 10 MPa or more.

The strengthened glass may have a fictive temperature at a central portion in a sheet thickness t direction of not lower than a glass transition temperature Tg and Tg+100° C. or lower.
