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 x (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.
