Abstract

A vehicle window plate has a maximum value of a variation of a curvature in a vertical direction being ±7.6E-6 mm −2 or less at least within a HUD display area. The curvature preferably increases monotonically from a lower side to an upper side at least within the HUD display area.

Claims (47)

1. A vehicle window plate, wherein:

a maximum value of a variation of a curvature in a vertical direction is ±7.6E-6 mm −2 or less at least within a HUD display area of the vehicle window plate; and

a position most distant from a chord connecting an upper side and a lower side serving as a reference is located more closely to the upper side than a center position in the vertical direction.

2. The vehicle window plate according to claim 1 , wherein:

the curvature increases monotonically from the lower side to the upper side at least within the HUD display area.

3. The vehicle window plate according to claim 1 , wherein:

an average value of the variation of the curvature in the vertical direction is ±1.2E-6 mm −2 or less at least within the HUD display area.

4. The vehicle window plate according to claim 1 , wherein:

the variation of the curvature is constant at least within the HUD display area.

5. The vehicle window plate according to claim 1 , wherein:

a difference in curvatures between a left end portion and a right end portion is 0.00040 mm −1 or less at least within the HUD display area.

6. The vehicle window plate according to claim 1 , wherein:

a maximum value of the curvature is 0.001 mm −1 or less at least within the HUD display area.

7. The vehicle window plate according to claim 1 , wherein:

the HUD display area is 10 cm 2 or more.

8. The vehicle window plate according to claim 1 , wherein:

the vehicle window plate is a glass plate;

the glass plate has an area where a plane stress is formed at an outer peripheral edge and inside the outer peripheral edge; and

the HUD display area dose not overlap with the area where the plane stress is formed.

9. The vehicle window plate according to claim 2 , wherein:

an average value of the variation of the curvature in the vertical direction is ±1.2E-6 mm −2 or less at least within the HUD display area.

10. The vehicle window plate according to claim 2 , wherein:

a difference in curvatures between a left end portion and a right end portion is 0.00040 mm −1 or less at least within the HUD display area.

11. The vehicle window plate according to claim 2 , wherein:

a maximum value of the curvature is 0.001 mm −1 or less at least within the HUD display area.

12. The vehicle window plate according to claim 2 , wherein:

the HUD display area is 10 cm 2 or more.

13. The vehicle window plate according to claim 2 , wherein:

the vehicle window plate is a glass plate;

the glass plate has an area where a plane stress is formed at an outer peripheral edge and inside the outer peripheral edge; and

the HUD display area dose not overlap with the area where the plane stress is formed.

14. The vehicle window plate according to claim 3 , wherein:

a difference in curvatures between a left end portion and a right end portion is 0.00040 min −1 or less at least within the HUD display area.

15. The vehicle window plate according to claim 3 , wherein:

a maximum value of the curvature is 0.001 mm −1 or less at least within the HUD display area.

16. The vehicle window plate according to claim 3 , wherein:

the HUD display area is 10 cm 2 or more.

17. The vehicle window plate according to claim 3 , wherein:

the vehicle window plate is a glass plate;

the glass plate has an area where a plane stress is formed at an outer peripheral edge and inside the outer peripheral edge; and

the HUD display area dose not overlap with the area where the plane stress is formed.

18. The vehicle window plate according to claim 4 , wherein:

a difference in curvatures between a left end portion and a right end portion is 0.00040 mm −1 or less at least within the HUD display area.

19. The vehicle window plate according to claim 4 , wherein:

a maximum value of the curvature is 0.001 mm −1 or less at least within the HUD display area.

20. The vehicle window plate according to claim 4 , wherein:

the HUD display area is 10 cm 2 or more.
