Abstract: A glass or glass-ceramic plate is provided that has two side faces, a thickness of between 2 mm and 6 mm, a circumferential edge face, a flatness less than or equal to 0.1%, and a region of a first face having a mean surface roughness of less than 0.5 ?m and a standard deviation of the surface roughness of less than 0.1 ?m. The mean surface roughness and the standard deviation are determined by measuring a roughness at nine points on the first face by measuring a line profile with a stylus device and with evaluation according to ISO 4827. The nine points are at least 5 cm apart from one another. The plate further includes a coating on two subregions of the region that are at least 3 cm apart from one another, where the coating has a raggedness in the subregions that differ by not more than 10%.
