Abstract

A glass sheet, containing, in mass % on an oxide basis: 45-70% of SiO 2 , 1-15% of Al 2 O 3 , 10-25% of Li 2 O, 0-10% of Na 2 O, 0-5% of K 2 O, and 0-15% of ZrO 2 . K 2 O/R 2 O is 0.10 or less and ZrO 2 /R 2 O is 0.30 or more, where R 2 O is a total content of Li 2 O, Na 2 O, and K 2 O. The glass sheet has an average thermal expansion coefficient at 50° C.-350° C. of 90×10 −7 /° C.-140×10 −7 /° C. and a Young's modulus of 85 GPa or more.

Claims (24)

1. A glass sheet, comprising:

a glass comprising lithiumphosphate crystals and having a composition comprising, in mass % on an oxide basis, 45-64% of SiO 2 , 8-15% of Al 2 O 3 , 10-25% of Li 2 O, 1.9-10% of Na 2 O, 0-5% of K 2 O, 4-5.7% of P 2 O 5 , and 6-15% of ZrO 2 such that K 2 O/R 2 O is 0 to 0.10, and ZrO 2 /R 2 O is 0.30 to 1.5, where R 2 O is a total content of Li 2 O, Na 2 O, and K 2 O,
