Abstract: A method of manufacturing a glass substrate for displays is provided, which allows efficient and inexpensive removal of at least a reducing heterogeneous layer formed on the top surface of the glass substrate, and a glass substrate for displays manufactured by the same method. A glass substrate is prepared by the float method. The reducing heterogeneous layer formed on the top surface of the glass substrate is removed by etching using an etchant which is mainly composed of hydrofluoric acid.

Abstract: A glass substrate for a front filter of a display device having considerable strength and excellent display quality, and being lightweight is provided. A display device employing this display filter substrate is provided. The glass substrate has one or more of electromagnetic-wave shielding function, near infrared ray blocking function, and anti-reflection function. The glass substrate has a thickness of 1.8-3.2 mm, an average surface compressive stress of 20-70 MPa, and a warp ratio of the glass substrate of 1.0% or less. The surface compressive stress is applied by an air blast cooling process or a chemical reinforcing process. The filter substrate is disposed over a front surface of the display device.
