Abstract

To provide glass including a colored layer and a manufacturing method thereof. Provided is glass containing one or more glass components selected from the group consisting of Ti ions, Nb ions, W ions, and Bi ions. The glass includes a colored layer having an arbitrary shape.

Claims (33)

1 . A cover glass comprising a glass containing:

one or more glass components selected from the group consisting of Ti ions, Nb ions, W ions, and Bi ions, wherein the glass includes a colored layer having an arbitrary shape,

the cover glass comprising:

a light-shielding portion and a light-transmitting portion, wherein

the light-shielding portion and the light-transmitting portion have the same glass composition, and

the light-shielding portion comprises the colored layer, and

wherein the glass has a plate shape, the colored layer is provided on a first main surface and a second main surface, and the colored layer of the first main surface does not overlap the colored layer of the second main surface in a plan view.

2 . The cover glass according to claim 1 ,

wherein the glass is phosphate glass,

a content of P 5+ is 10 to 50 cation %, and

a total content of Ti ions, Nb ions, W ions, and Bi ions [Ti+Nb+W+Bi] is 1 to 80 cation %.

3 . The cover glass according to claim 1 ,

wherein a cation ratio of a content of B 3+ to a content of P 5+ [B 3+ /P 5+ ] is 0.70 or less,

a cation ratio of a total content of Ti ions, Nb ions, W ions, and Bi ions to a total content of P 5+ , B 3+ , and Si 4+ [(Ti+Nb+W+Bi)/(P 5+ +B 3+ +Si 4+ )] is 0.1 to 0.4,

a total content of Ti ions, Nb ions, and W ions [Ti+Nb+W] is 1 to 60 cation %, and

a refractive index nd is 1.70 or more.

4 . The cover glass according to claim 1 ,

wherein a content of Ti ions is 1 to 45 cation %,

a content of Nb ions is 1 to 45 cation %,

a content of W ions is 30 cation % or less, and

a content of Bi ions is 40 cation % or less.

5 . The cover glass according to claim 1 ,

wherein a content of Bi ions is 0.5 to 40 cation %.

6 . The cover glass according to claim 1 ,

wherein a total content of Li + and Na + [Li + +Na + ] is 1 to 45 cation %,

a content of K + is 20 cation % or less, and

a total content of Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Sr 2+ , and Ba 2+ [Mg 2+ +Ca 2+ +Sr 2+ +Ba 2+ ] is 30 cation % or less.

7 . The cover glass according to claim 1 ,

wherein an optical density OD of the colored layer in a wavelength region from a visible region to an infrared region tends to decrease as the wavelength becomes longer, and

the optical density OD of a portion provided with the colored layer at a wavelength of 1100 nm is 0.3 or more.

8 . The cover glass according to claim 1 ,

wherein the glass comprises a non-colored portion, and

a transmittance of the non-colored portion at a thickness of 1 mm is 50% or more with respect to light beams having a wavelength of 400 to 800 nm.
