  • Publication number: 20210293995
    Abstract: A cover glass includes a glass substrate and an antireflection film disposed on at least one of main surfaces of the glass substrate, and the at least one of main surfaces of the glass substrate has one or more cracks formed therein, the crack(s) each having a length of 5 ?m or less, and a difference ?a* in a* value between any two points within a surface of the cover glass on the side where the antireflection film has been disposed and a difference ?b* in b* value between any two points within the surface of the cover glass on the side where the antireflection film has been disposed satisfy the following expression: ?{(?a*)2+(?b*)2}?4.

  • Publication number: 20210284571
    Abstract: A cover glass includes: a glass substrate having a convex and concave shape formed on at least one of surfaces thereof by an antiglare treatment; and an antireflection film disposed on the surface of the glass substrate, the surface having the convex and concave shape. In the cover glass, a difference ?a* in a* value between any two points within a surface of the cover glass on the side where the antireflection film is present and a difference ?b* in b*value between any two points within the surface of the cover glass on the side where the antireflection film is present satisfy the following expression: ?{(?a*)2+(?b*)2}?4.
