Abstract

The present invention relates to a chemically strengthened glass having a thickness t (mm), in which a first-order derivative CS x ′ of a stress value CS x (MPa) is −4.7 or larger in a range of CS x ≥0 in a profile of the stress value CS x (MPa), in which the stress value CS x (MPa) is a function of depth×(μm) from a glass surface, and in which the stress value CS x (MPa) is measured by a scattered light photoelastic stress meter, and a manufacturing method thereof.

Claims (21)

1. A chemically strengthened glass having a thickness t in mm, wherein a first-order derivative CS x ′ of a stress value CS x in MPa is −4.7 or larger in a range of CS x ≥ 0 in a profile of the stress value CS x in MPa,

wherein the stress value CS x in MPa is a function of a depth x in μm from a glass surface,

wherein the stress value CS x in MPa is measured by a scattered light photoelastic stress meter,

wherein a base composition of the chemically strengthened glass comprises, as represented by mol % based on oxides,

from 52 mol % to 75 mol % of SiO 2 ;

from 8 mol % to 20 mol % of Al 2 O 3 ;

5 mol % to 16 mol % of Li 2 O; and

8 mol % or less of Na 2 O, and

wherein t is the thickness in mm, CT 2 is a tensile stress in MPa and DOL is a compressive stress layer depth in μm.

2. The chemically strengthened glass according to claim 1 , wherein in the profile of the stress value CS x , a second-order derivative CS x ″ of the stress value CS x satisfies CS x ″≤0.050.

3. The chemically strengthened glass according to claim 1 , wherein a second-order derivative CS x ″ of the stress value CS x is greater than 0.

4. The chemically strengthened glass according to claim 1 , wherein the first-order derivative CS x ′ of the stress value CS x is 0 or smaller.

5. The chemically strengthened glass according to claim 1 , wherein in the profile of the stress value CS x in MPa, a stress value CS 0 at a glass outermost surface is 300 MPa or smaller.

6. The chemically strengthened glass according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum tensile stress CT 2 in MPa satisfies the following inequality:

CT 2 ≤19.5/( t/ 2−DOL/1,000),

wherein t is the thickness in mm and DOL is a compressive stress layer depth in μm.

7. The chemically strengthened glass according to claim 1 , wherein:
