PANE-SHAPED GLASS ELEMENT AND METHOD OF SEPARATING A GLASS SUBSTRATE INTO A PLURALITY OF SUCH GLASS ELEMENTS
A pane-shaped glass element having two opposing side surfaces which are edge-wise interconnected by a number of edge surfaces, wherein in the or each edge surface there are provided filamentary damages forming side-by-side elongate depressions, and wherein the or each edge surface lies obliquely to the side surfaces, is to be further formed for particularly good usability in a plurality of possible applications. For this purpose, according to the invention, the respective edge surface has a surface roughness with a mean roughness value of at least 0.3 μm, and preferably of at most 2 μm, in a particularly advantageous embodiment of about 1 μm, in its region provided with the filamentary damages.
1 - 7 . (canceled).
8 . A pane-like glass element having two opposing side surfaces which are edgewise interconnected by a number of edge surfaces, wherein in the or each edge surface there are provided filamentary damages forming juxtaposed, elongate depressions, and wherein the or each edge surface lies obliquely relative to the side faces, wherein the respective edge surface has a surface roughness with a mean roughness value of at least 0.3 μm in its region provided with the filamentary damages, characterised in that the edge surface is inclined by an angle of inclination of 0.5° to 3° relative to the surface normal of the side surfaces.
9 . The pane-like glass element of claim 1 , the respective edge surface of which has, in its region provided with the filamentary damage, a surface roughness with a mean roughness value of at most 2 μm, advantageously of about 1 μm.
10 . The pane-like glass element of claim 1 , which has a thickness of at most 6 mm, preferably at most 3 mm.
11 . The pane-like glass element of claim 9 , which has a thickness of at most 6 mm, preferably at most 3 mm.
