Abstract

A glass sheet composite having two or more glass sheets and a liquid layer between at least a pair of glass sheets out of the glass sheets, wherein a thickness of the liquid layer is 1/10 or less of a total thickness of the pair of glass sheets when a total thickness of the pair of glass sheets is 1 mm or less, and 100 μm or less when the total thickness of the pair of glass sheets is more than 1 mm.

Claims (22)

1. A glass sheet composite comprising two or more glass sheets and a liquid layer between at least a pair of glass sheets out of the glass sheets,

wherein a thickness of the liquid layer is

1/10 or less of a total thickness of the pair of glass sheets when a total thickness of the pair of glass sheets is 1 mm or less, and

100 μm or less when the total thickness of the pair of glass sheets is more than 1 mm,

wherein the liquid layer contains at least one member selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol, dimethyl silicone oil, methyl phenyl silicone oil, methyl hydrogen silicone oil, and denatured silicone oil.

2. The glass sheet 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 to 80 mN/m.

3. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein both of at least a pair of glass sheets out of all the glass sheets have a specific modulus of 2.5×10 7 m 2 /s 2 or more.

4. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein out of two glass sheets constituting the pair of glass sheets, denoting Qa and wa respectively as a resonant frequency and a half-width of resonance amplitude of one glass sheet A and denoting Qb and wb respectively as a resonant frequency and a half-width of resonance amplitude of the other glass sheet B, following relationship of [formula 1] is satisfied:

( wa+wb )/4<| Qa−Qb|   [formula 1].

5. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein a mass ratio of two glass sheets constituting the pair of glass sheets is from 0.8 to 1.25.

6. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein a sheet thickness of each of two glass sheets constituting the pair of glass sheets is from 0.01 to 15 mm.

7. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein the glass sheet comprises at least either one of physically strengthened glass sheet or chemically strengthened glass sheet.

8. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein a visible light transmittance is 60% or more.

9. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , comprising three or more glass sheets.

10. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein at least one glass sheet or the liquid layer is colored.

11. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid layer contains a fluorescent material.

12. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein a coating or a film is formed on at least one of the outermost surfaces of the glass sheet composite.

13. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein the glass sheet composite has a curved surface shape.

14. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between a refractive index of the liquid layer and the refractive index of each of the pair of glass sheets is 0.2 or less.

15. The glass sheet composite according to claim 1 , wherein at least part of an outer circumferential edge surface of the glass sheet composite is sealed by a member not hindering vibration of the glass sheet composite.

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

17. An opening member using the glass sheet composite according to claim 1 .
