Abstract

The glass sheet composite of the present invention includes at least two sheets, a liquid layer held between two adjacent sheets of the at least two sheets, and a seal material disposed between the two sheets so as to seal up the liquid layer, in which at least one of the two sheets is a glass sheet, the glass sheet composite including a light-shielding part disposed so as to overlay a boundary between the liquid layer and the seal material when the glass sheet composite is viewed in a plan view. Because of this, the boundary can be concealed, and this not only results in an improvement in designability and a wider choice of materials for the liquid layer and the seal material.

Claims (45)

1. A glass sheet composite comprising

at least two sheets,

a liquid layer held between two adjacent sheets of the at least two sheets, and

a seal material disposed between the two sheets so as to seal up the liquid layer,

wherein

at least one of the two sheets is a glass sheet,

the glass sheet composite including a light-shielding part disposed so as to overlay a boundary between the liquid layer and the seal material when the glass sheet composite is viewed in a plan view, and

the light-shielding part is positioned from the peripheral edge of at least one of the two sheets to a point beyond the internal edge of the seal material.

2. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein the seal material is provided to at least some of peripheries of the two sheets, and

the light-shielding part is provided to at least some of the peripheries of the two sheets so as to overlay the boundary.

3. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein the seal material is provided to peripheries of the two sheets and

the light-shielding part is provided to the whole peripheries of the two sheets so as to overlay the boundary.

4. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein the two sheets comprise a first sheet that is constituted of a glass sheet, and a second sheet that is constituted of a transparent plate and

the light-shielding part is provided to at least one main surface of the first sheet.

5. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein the two sheets comprise a first sheet that is constituted of a glass sheet, and a second sheet that is constituted of a transparent plate and

the light-shielding part is provided to at least one main surface of the second sheet.

6. A diaphragm comprising the glass sheet composite according to claim 1 and at least one vibrator disposed on one or both surfaces of the glass sheet composite.

7. The glass composite according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid layer has a viscosity coefficient at 25° C. of 1×10 −4 to 1×10 3 Pa·s and a surface tension at 25° C. of 15-80 mN/m.

8. The glass composite according to claim 1 , wherein the light shielding part is positioned only to a main surface on one or both sheets and one or both surfaces of the sheets.

9. A glass sheet composite comprising

at least two sheets,

a liquid layer held between two adjacent sheets of the at least two sheets, and

a seal material disposed between the two sheets so as to seal up the liquid layer,

wherein

at least one of the two sheets is a glass sheet,

the glass sheet composite including a light-shielding part disposed so as to overlay a boundary between the liquid layer and the seal material when the glass sheet composite is viewed in a plan view, and

the light-shielding part is positioned to at least some of the peripheries of the at least two sheets.

10. A glass sheet composite comprising

at least two sheets,

a liquid layer held between two adjacent sheets of the at least two sheets, and

a seal material disposed between the two sheets so as to seal up the liquid layer,

wherein

at least one of the two sheets is a glass sheet,

the glass sheet composite including a light-shielding part disposed so as to overlay a boundary between the liquid layer and the seal material when the glass sheet composite is viewed in a plan view, and

the light-shielding part is applied to at least some of the peripheries of both sheets and that the light-shielding part is positioned from the peripheral edge of the two sheets to a point beyond the internal edge of the seal material.

11. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two sheets comprise a first sheet that is a glass sheet, and a second sheet that is a transparent plate, and the light-shielding part is provided only on a main surface of the second sheet, the main surface not being faced to the liquid layer.

12. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein the light-shielding part is positioned on a main surface of a first sheet of the two sheets, the main surface facing the liquid layer, and the seal material is positioned on the light-shielding part.

13. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein the light-shielding part is positioned on a main surface of a first sheet of the at least two sheets, a main surface of the first sheet facing the liquid layer and on a main surface of a second sheet of the at least two sheets facing the liquid layer, and the seal material is positioned on the light-shielding part.

14. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein the light-shielding part comprises a resin containing a metallic filler.

15. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein the light-shielding part comprises a film of a metal.

16. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein the light-shielding part comprise a coloring primer that is a curable-resin agent.

17. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , which has a loss coefficient at 25° C. of 1×10 −2 or higher and at least one sheet has a sheet-thickness-direction longitudinal wave acoustic velocity of 4.0×10 3 m/s or higher.

18. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid layer has a vapor pressure at 25° C. and 1 atm of 1×104 Pa or less.

19. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein when a total thickness of the at least two sheets is 1 mm or less, the liquid layer has a thickness of 1/10 or less of a total thickness of the at least two sheets.

20. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein when a total thickness of the at least two sheets is greater than 1 mm, the liquid layer has a thickness of 100 μm or less.
