Abstract

The present invention relates to a chemically strengthened glass satisfying A 1 [MPa] of 600 or more, A 2 [MPa] of 50 or more, B 1 [μm] of 6 or less, B 2 [μm] of 10% or more of t [μm], C [MPa] of −30 or less, and A 1 /B 1 [MPa/μm] of 100 or more when the chemically strengthened glass has a thickness t [μm] and a profile of a stress value [MPa] at a depth x [μm] from a glass surface is approximated by an error least-squares method in a region of 0<x<3t/8 using the following function while defining a compressive stress as positive and a tensile stress as negative: A 1 erfc(x/B 1 )+A 2 erfc(x/B 2 )+C, in which erfc is a complementary error function, and relations of A 1 >A 2 and B 1 <B 2 are satisfied.
