  • Patent number: 12122709
    Abstract: A tempered glass has a surface and a thickness, wherein a stress profile of the tempered glass includes a first peak at the surface, at which the compressive stress becomes a maximum, a first bottom at which the stress, which gradually reduces from the first peak in the depth direction, becomes a local minimum, a second peak at which the compressive stress, which gradually increases from the first bottom in the depth direction, becomes a local minimum, and a second bottom at which the tensile stress, which gradually reduces from the second peak in the depth direction, becomes a minimum. The compressive stress at the first peak is 500 MPa or more, the compressive stress at the second peak P2 is from 15 MPa to 250 MPa, and the depth of layer of the second peak is from 4% to 20% of the thickness.

    Abstract: A tempered glass has a surface and a thickness. When a compressive stress of the tempered glass is represented by a positive number and a tensile stress thereof is represented by a negative number, the compressive stress at the surface is 400 MPa or more, a stress profile of the tempered glass obtained by measuring a stress in a depth direction from the surface has inflection points at each of which a second derivative of the stress profile becomes zero between the surface and a depth equal to half of the thickness, and the compressive stress value at a first inflection point at a position closest to the surface among the inflection points is 150 MPa or less. The compressive stress at a second inflection point at a position deeper than the first inflection point is 45 MPa or less.
