  • Patent number: 11613490
    Abstract: A 3D cover glass, having a polygonal shape in a plan view which corner part may comprise a rounded portion, and containing a central part being flat plane, and curved parts each with a three-dimensional curved surface having a curvature radius of 100 mm or less on peripheries of at least two of the sides of the polygonal shape, wherein the 3D cover glass shows the maximum value of retardation per 1 mm thickness being 16 nm/mm or less when measured by irradiating a light having a wavelength of 543 nm onto the central part orthogonally.

  • Publication number: 20210371330
    Abstract: An antifouling layer-attached glass substrate includes a glass substrate having a pair of main surfaces facing each other, and an antifouling layer formed on or above at least one main surface of the glass substrate. At the time of measuring an absorbance inside the antifouling layer-attached glass substrate by a Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer according to ATR method (Attenuated Total Reflection) from a surface on a side where the antifouling layer is formed, in the case where an absorbance value at 3,955 cm?1 is set to 0.10, a value (H2O absorbance) obtained by subtracting, as a base, the absorbance value at 3,955 cm?1 from a peak value of an absorbance peak which appears around 3,400 cm?1 is 0.010 or more.
