DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Unless otherwise specified, the following definitions of terms are applicable throughout description, drawings and claims.

“to” used to show the range of the numerical values is used to include the numerical values before and after it as the lower limit value and the upper limit value. The glass “containing substantially no” certain component means that the component is not actively added excluding an inevitably included impurity. The content of each component in the glass is represented by mol % based on oxides.

In this specification, the “radio transmittance” of the glass plate is obtained as follows.

As shown in FIG. 1, it is assumed that a perfect conductor frame 10 having an infinite area and a finite thickness has a 90 mm square (8,100 mm²) opening 20. From a wave source 30, 60 mm apart in a vertical direction from the opening, plane waves having an electric field strength of 1 V/m are made to enter the opening vertically so that the wave front is in parallel with the opening and the polarization direction is in parallel with one side of the opening. And, the electric field strength is measured at a point (measurement point 40) 300 mm apart in a vertical direction from the center of the opening on the opposite side of the opening from the wave source. A value obtained by dividing the electric field strength measured when a glass plate sample having the same shape and the same area as the opening 20 is fitted into the opening 20, by the electric filed strength when no glass plate sample is fitted (that is, the glass plate sample is replaced with an air block having the corresponding thickness), is the electric field strength ratio of the glass plate. This electric field strength is obtained by simulation by an electromagnetic field simulator (CST Microwave Studio 2016) under the above-described conditions.

The electric field strength ratio is a proportion of the electric field strength measured through the glass plate sample to the electric field strength measured through the air, and the unit is a dimensionless number unless otherwise specified, but may be represented by percentage (%). The electric field strength ratio may be determined in accordance with the thickness, the electric constant and the dielectric loss of the glass plate, and the frequency of the incident waves. Methods for measuring the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of the glass plate sample are known for those skilled in the art, and they are measured, for example, by cavity resonator method.

In this specification, unless otherwise specified, meanings of the following terms are as follows.

The opening is a square opening in a perfect conductor frame having an infinite area. When the radio transmittance or the electric field strength after transmission of a glass plate is measured, a glass plate sample having the same shape and the same area as the opening is fitted into the opening. The wave front of the plane waves is in parallel with the opening surface, the polarization direction of the plane waves is in parallel with one side of the opening, and the plane waves enter the opening in a perpendicular direction. The distance from the opening represents the distance along the perpendicular from the opening surface. The measurement point a certain distance apart from the opening means a point the corresponding distance apart from the opening surface along the perpendicular from the center of the opening. The wave source and the measurement point are located opposite of the opening from each other.

The thickness of the glass plate is represented by mm, the area of the opening by mm², the wavelength of the radio waves by mm, the frequency by GHz, and the electric field strength by V/m.

The glass plate of the present invention has a radio transmittance of at least 20% at a frequency of 100 GHz as calculated as 18 mm thickness, whereby the glass plate is less likely to be a barrier to transmitting/receiving by a radio-utilizing apparatus such as radar and a mobile phone. In this specification, unless otherwise specified, the radio transmittance is obtained by conducting the after-described exponential approximation. The radio transmittance is preferably at least 21%, more preferably at least 22%, more preferably at least 25%, more preferably at least 29%, more preferably at least 33%, more preferably at least 37%, more preferably at least 40%, further preferably at least 43%, particularly preferably at least 45%, even more preferably at least 48%, most preferably at least 50%.

The thickness calculation of the radio transmittance can be analytically carried out e.g. by transmission formula of plane electromagnetic waves, for example, as described in Denjidouharon Nyumon (Electromagnetic Waveguide Introduction (Masahiro Hashimoto, published by THE NIKKAN KOGYO SHIMBUN, LTD., “Chapter 2: Transmission of Electromagnetic Waves”.

The glass plate of the present invention has a radio transmittance of preferably at least 23% at a frequency of 80 GHz as calculated as 18 mm thickness, whereby the glass plate is less likely to be a barrier to transmitting/receiving by a radio-utilizing apparatus such as radar and a mobile phone. The radio transmittance is more preferably 25%, more preferably at least 26%, more preferably at least 30%, more preferably at least 35%, more preferably at least 40%, further preferably at least 44%, particularly preferably at least 48%, even more preferably at least 52%, most preferably at least 54%.

The glass plate of the present invention has a radio transmittance of preferably at least 39% at a frequency of 28 GHz as calculated as 18 mm thickness, whereby the glass plate is less likely to be a barrier to transmitting/receiving by a radio-utilizing apparatus such as radar and a mobile phone. The radio transmittance is more preferably at least 40%, more preferably at least 44%, more preferably at least 50%, more preferably at least 56%, further preferably at least 60%, particularly preferably at least 62%, even more preferably at least 65%, most preferably at least 68%.

The glass plate of the present invention has a radio transmittance of preferably at most 84% at a frequency of 100 GHz as calculated as 18 mm thickness. In order that the radio transmittance is higher than 84%, it may be necessary to excessively increase the SiO₂ component in the glass. Such glass is less likely to be melted, and the forming temperature tends to be high, whereby production of a large plate by e.g. float process, fusion process, roll out process or down draw process tends to be difficult. Further, if the radio transmittance is high, the B₂O₃ component has to be added in a large amount, whereby not only alkali elements are likely to volatilize during melting/forming, thus leading to deterioration of the glass quality, but also the average coefficient of linear expansion becomes low, whereby physical tempering tends to be difficult. Further, an increase of the B₂O₃ and SiO₂ components is likely to lead to a decrease of the Young's modulus, whereby the rigidity of the substrate decreases, and the strength at the time of use may not be secured. Further, in order to increase the radio transmittance, it is necessary to lower the content of alkali elements, which may lead to deterioration of the melting property and may remarkably deteriorate the viscosity, and further, such glass is likely to be devitrified, thus impairing the glass production. Such glass is not suitable as window glass particularly for automobiles and for building. Accordingly, the radio transmittance is more preferably at most 80%, more preferably at most 70%, more preferably at most 60%, more preferably at most 55%, further preferably at most 50%, particularly preferably at most 47%, even more preferably at most 45%, most preferably at most 43%.

The glass plate of the present invention has a radio transmittance of preferably at most 84% at a frequency of 80 GHz as calculated as 18 mm thickness. In order that the radio transmittance is higher than 84%, it may be necessary to excessively increase the SiO₂ component in the glass. Such glass is less likely to be melted, and the forming temperature tends to be high, and production of a large plate by e.g. float process, fusion process, roll-out process or down-draw process tends to be difficult. The radio transmittance is more preferably at most 80%, more preferably at most 70%, more preferably at most 61%, more preferably at most 58%, further preferably at most 55%, particularly preferably at most 52%, even more preferably at most 49%, most preferably at most 47%.

The glass plate of the present invention has a radio transmittance of preferably at most 84% at a frequency of 28 GHz as calculated as 18 mm thickness. In order that the radio transmittance is higher than 84%, it may be necessary to excessively increase the SiO₂ component in the glass. Such glass is less likely to be melted, and the forming temperature tends to be high, and production of a large plate by e.g. float process, fusion process, roll-out process or down-draw process tends to be difficult. The radio transmittance is more preferably at most 82%, more preferably at most 80%, more preferably at most 78%, more preferably at most 76%, further preferably at most 75%, particularly preferably at most 72%, even more preferably at most 68%, most preferably at most 64%.

In this specification, λ represents the wavelength (unit: mm) of radio waves. The glass plate of the present invention preferably satisfies a linear approximation of y>(0.0607×x), wherein y (V/m) is the electric field strength at a measurement point 10λ apart from the opening, when plane waves at a frequency of 10 GHz at an electric field strength of 1 V/m are made to enter a glass plate having a thickness of 1.2λ from a wave source 2λ apart from the opening 20, and x is a value obtained by dividing the opening area S (mm²) by λ². The measured electric field strength y which varies depending upon the opening area may be determined by simulation by an electromagnetic simulator (CST Microwave Studio 2016) employing the above conditions. The linear approximation is, as is well known to those skilled in the art, a linear approximation obtained by least squares method. The description “enter a glass plate having a thickness of 1.2λ” means that the glass plate is calculated to 1.2λ thickness, and the actual thickness of the glass plate of the present invention is not necessarily 1.2λ.

The linear approximation of the glass plate being y>(0.0607×x) means that the slope of a graph of a linear function obtained by linear approximation of the relation between x and y obtained from the glass plate, is greater than the slope of the graph y=(0.0607×x). If the linear approximation is y≤(0.0607×x), that is, when the slope is at most 0.0607, functions of a radio-utilizing apparatus in a high frequency band tend to be impaired. The slope of the linear function obtained by the linear approximation is more preferably at least 0.0625, further preferably at least 0.0644. There is no particular upper limit of the slope, however, it can not be 0.0879 or greater (the value obtained when an air block is placed instead of the glass plate).

The slope of the linear function obtained by the linear approximation is preferably at most 0.0796. When it is at most 0.0796, the proportions of SiO₂ and B₂O₃ in the glass can be lowered, whereby the glass is easily produced, and further, the weather resistance and thermal expansion property of the glass can be adjusted, whereby a large glass plate suitable for preparation of a window for various applications is easily produced. The slope of the linear function obtained by the linear approximation is more preferably at most 0.0750, further preferably at most 0.0700, further preferably at most 0.0690, further preferably at most 0.0680, further preferably at most 0.0670, even more preferably at most 0.0665, most preferably at most 0.0657.

The glass plate of the present invention preferably satisfies an exponential approximation (in this specification, referred to as “exponential approximation at 100 GHz”) of y′>exp(−0.081×x′), wherein y′ is the approximate transmittance at a frequency of 100 GHz, and x′ is the thickness of the glass plate.

The exponential approximation at 100 GHz is determined as follows.

First, a curve of changes of the electric field strength ratio in accordance with the frequency x″ (GHz) is determined with respect to the glass plate to be measured as calculated as each of 12 mm, 18 mm, 24 mm, 30 mm, 36 mm and 40 mm thicknesses, the exponential approximation of the relation between x″ and the electric field strength ratio (in this specification, the exponential approximation will sometimes be referred to as “exponential approximation of the relation between the frequency and the radio transmittance”), which is taken as the radio transmittance y″. That is, a function y″=[constant 1]×e^{[constant 2]×x″} is approximated. The exponential approximation is, as is well known to those skilled in the art, an exponential approximation obtained by least squares method. For example, with respect to a thickness 12 mm of a glass plate (Comparative Example 1), exponential approximation of y″=0.7628e^−0.003x″ is obtained, and with respect to a thickness 18 mm of the same glass plate, exponential approximation of y″=0.8619e^−0.015x″ is obtained.

This approximation formula is prepared based on analysis results by the electromagnetic simulator at from 6 to 20 GHz. It is known that due to characteristics of the electromagnetic simulator, the calculation accuracy is deteriorated as apart from the center frequency in the analysis frequency band, and particularly the accuracy in the low frequency band is remarkably deteriorated. Accordingly, values in a frequency band of at least 6 GHz are preferably employed. In this calculation, a frequency up to GHz is taken as the analysis upper limit frequency, however, since the frequency dependence of the attenuation is negligibly small, the present approximation formula may be applied to a frequency of at least 20 GHz.

Accordingly, the glass plate of the present invention satisfies an exponential approximation of the relation between the frequency and the electric field strength ratio at a frequency of from 6 to 20 GHz, as calculated as 18 mm thickness, of preferably y″>0.8619e^−0.015x″, more preferably y″>0.85e^−0.012x″, further preferably y″>0.84e^−0.010x″, particularly preferably y″>0.84e^−0.09x″, even more preferably y″>0.84e^−0.008x″, most preferably y″>0.84e^−0.007x″.

Further, it is preferred that y″<0.84e^{−0.0005x″}, whereby the contents of SiO₂ and B₂O₃ components in the glass can be lowered, and the glass is easily produced and further, the weather resistance, thermal expansion property, etc. of the glass can be adjusted, whereby a large glass plate suitable for preparation of a window for various applications can easily be produced. More preferably y″<0.84e^−0.001x″, further preferably y″<0.84e^−0.003x′, particularly preferably y″<0.84e^−0.005x′, even more preferably y″<0.8435e^−0.006x″, most preferably y″<0.8462e^−0.007x″.

Now, the transmittance (approximate transmittance) at 100 GHz is calculated based on the exponential approximation formula of the relation between the frequency and the electric field strength ratio obtained with respect to each thickness, whereby a relation of the approximate transmittance y′ depending upon the thickness x′ is obtained with respect to frequency 100 GHz, and this relation is further subjected to exponential approximation, whereby the above-described “exponential approximation at frequency 100 GHz” is obtained. The thickness x′ is changed as mentioned above for the purpose of calculation to obtain the exponential approximation, however, needless to say, a specific glass plate of the present invention may haven an optional thickness.

The electric field strength ratio of radio waves which passed through a glass plate usually greatly varies whether or not the multiple of the wavelength of the radio waves agrees with the thickness of the glass plate, and is complicatedly influenced by the reflection, refraction and interference of the radio waves. Accordingly, as the frequency is continuously increased, periodic fluctuations of the electric field strength ratio with an unstable locus are observed (for example, FIG. 2A to FIG. 2D). Accordingly, discussion on whether the electric field strength ratio measured at a specific frequency is higher or lower does not necessarily essentially describe the radio transmission characteristics of the glass material. That is, even when a first glass plate transmits radio waves in a larger amount than a second glass plate at a specific frequency, it is possible that the first glass is superior in the radio transmission characteristics as a whole by macroscopic observation in a wider frequency range (FIG. 2λ to FIG. 2D). Accordingly, the above-described approximation is useful. By the approximation formula, macroscopic tendency of radio transmission characteristics is described.

The exponential approximation of a certain glass plate at a frequency of 100 GHz being y′>exp(−0.081×x′) means that a graph of an exponential function obtained by subjecting the relation between x′ and y′ obtained from the glass plate to exponential approximation, is located above the graph of y′=exp(−0.081×x′). These graphs are such that y′=1 (transmittance: 100%) when x′=0 (no thickness of the glass plate), where x′ is plotted on the horizontal axis and y′ on the vertical axis. When the exponential approximation is y′≤exp(−0.081×x′), transmitting/receiving of a radio-utilizing apparatus in a high frequency band tends to be impaired. The coefficient of x′ in the exponential approximation at a frequency of 100 GHz is more preferably at least −0.075, further preferably at least −0.07, particularly preferably at least −0.065, even more preferably at least −0.06, most preferably at least −0.055. There is no particular upper limit of the coefficient of x′, however, it is usually at most−0.01. Further, the coefficient of x′ is preferably at most−0.02, whereby the contents of SiO₂ and B₂O₃ components in the glass can be lowered, and the glass can easily be produced and in addition, the weather resistance, thermal expansion property etc. of the glass can be adjusted, whereby a large glass plate suitable for preparation of windows for various applications can easily be produced. The coefficient is more preferably at most−0.03, further preferably at most−0.035, particularly preferably at most−0.04, even more preferably at most−0.045, most preferably at most−0.05.

The glass plate of the present invention has an area of preferably at least 900 mm². When the glass plate has an area of at least 900 mm², the radio transmitted amount for use of a radio-utilizing apparatus can be secured, and such glass may suitably be used for building, for automobiles, etc. The area is more preferably at least 2,500 mm², more preferably at least 10,000 mm², further preferably at least 90,000 mm², particularly preferably at least 180,000 mm², even more preferably at least 360,000 mm², most preferably at least 1,120,000 mm². The upper limit of the area is not particularly limited from the viewpoint of the radio transmittance, however, a glass plate larger than 100,000,000 mm² is difficult to produce. The area is more preferably at most 56,250,000 mm², further preferably at most 25,000,000 mm², particularly preferably at most 9,000,000 mm², even more preferably at most 4,000,000 mm², most preferably at most 2,160,000 mm². When the area of the glass plate is smaller than 900 mm², application in e.g. building or automobile field may be limited, and the absolute amount of radio waves which pass through the glass plate will be small regardless of the transmittance.

The glass plate of the present invention preferably satisfies A×radio transmittance of from 0.0225 m^2·% to 8,400 m^2·%. Here, “A” is the area (m²) of the glass plate, and the radio transmittance is a radio transmittance (%) at a frequency of 100 GHz as calculated as 18 mm thickness.

When A×radio transmittance is at least 0.0225 m^2·%, electric field strength higher than a conventional glass plate can be obtained. If it is less than 0.0225 m^2·%, use as a window in a high frequency band will be more difficult. A×radio transmittance is more preferably at least 0.4 m^2·%, more preferably at least 4 m^2·%, further preferably at least 8 m^2·%, particularly preferably at least 16 m^2·%, even more preferably at least 28 m^2·% most preferably at least 50 m^2·%. Further, by increasing A×radio transmittance, the radio transmitted amount can be increased. There is no particular upper limit of A×radio transmittance, however, it is preferably at most 8,400 m^2·%. If A is too large, production of the glass plate tends to be difficult. A×radio transmittance is more preferably at most 3,000 m^2·%, further preferably at most 800 m^2·%, still more preferably at most 400 m^2·%, particularly preferably at most 200 m^2·%, even more preferably at most 120 m^2·%, most preferably at most 80 m^2·%.

The glass plate of the present invention preferably satisfies a radio transmittance/t of from 0.7%/mm to 84%/mm. Here, t is the thickness (mm) of the glass plate, and the radio transmittance is a radio transmittance (%) at a frequency of 100 GHz as calculated as 18 mm thickness. When the radio transmittance/t is at least 0.7%/mm, an approximate transmittance higher than that of a conventional glass plate can be obtained. If the radio transmittance/thickness t is less than 0.7%/mm, use as a window in a high frequency band will be more difficult. The radio transmittance/t is preferably at least 1%/mm, more preferably at least 2%/mm, further preferably at least 3%/mm, particularly preferably at least 4%/mm, even more preferably at least 5%/mm, most preferably at least 5.5%/mm. By increasing the radio transmittance or by reducing the thickness, the radio transmittance/t becomes high, and the approximate transmittance can be increased. There is no particular upper limit of the radio transmittance/t, however, it is preferably at most 84%/mm. If t is too small, deflection tends to be great, and such glass can hardly be used in a large area, and glass having a high radio transmittance tends to contain the SiO₂ component in a large amount, whereby production of a glass plate tends to be difficult. Further, in order to achieve a high radio transmittance, the B₂O₃ component should be added in a large amount, whereby not only alkali elements are likely to volatilize during melting/forming, thus leading to deterioration of the glass quality, but also the average coefficient of linear expansion becomes low, and physical tempering tends to be difficult. Further, an increase of the B₂O₃ and SiO₂ components tends to lead to a decrease in the Young's modulus, whereby rigidity of the substrate may be decreased, and strength at the time of use may not be secured. Further, in order to increase the radio transmittance, it is necessary to lower the content of alkali elements, thus leading to deterioration of melting property, whereby the viscosity will remarkably be deteriorated, and further, glass is likely to be devitrified, and glass production may be impaired. Accordingly, the radio transmittance/t is preferably at most 65%/mm, more preferably at most 50%/mm, further preferably at most 40%/mm, particularly preferably at most 30%/mm, even more preferably at most 25%/mm, most preferably at most 20%/mm.

Further, considering the application, when the glass plate is used for building, the thickness of the glass plate is thick in many cases, whereby the lower limit of the radio transmittance/t is preferably lower, and it is more preferably at least 1.3%/mm, further preferably at least 1.6%/mm, particularly preferably at least 1.8%/mm, even more preferably at least 2.4%/mm, most preferably at least 3%/mm. Further, the upper limit is also preferably lower, and it is more preferably at most 25%/mm, further preferably at most 15%/mm, particularly preferably at most 11%/mm, even more preferably at most 9%/mm, most preferably at most 8%/mm.

When the glass plate is used for automobiles, the thickness of the glass plate is from 2 mm to 6 mm for example, and the lower limit of the radio transmittance/t is more preferably at least 5%/mm, further preferably at least 6%/mm, particularly preferably at least 7%/mm, even more preferably at least 7.5%/mm, most preferably at least 8%/mm. Further, the upper limit is more preferably at most 25%/mm, further preferably at most 20%/mm, particularly preferably at most 16%/mm, even more preferably at most 13%/mm, most preferably at most 12%/mm.

On the other hand, in a case where a thin glass plate of from 1 to 2 mm is used, the lower limit of the radio transmittance/t is more preferably at least 15%/mm, further preferably at least 17%/mm, particularly preferably at least 20%/mm, even more preferably at least 25%/mm, most preferably at least 30%/mm. The upper limit is more preferably at most 70%/mm, further preferably at most 60%/mm, particularly preferably at most 55%/mm, even more preferably at most 50%/mm, most preferably at most 48%/mm.

The glass plate of the present invention preferably has a specific gravity of from 2.40 to 3.00, and preferably has a Young's modulus of from 60 GPa to 100 GPa. The average coefficient of linear expansion from 50° C. to 350° C. is preferably from 50×10⁻⁷/° C. to 120×10⁻⁷/° C. When the glass plate satisfies such physical property requirements, it can be sufficiently suitably used as a window material for building, for automobiles, etc.

In order to secure the weather resistance, a certain amount or more of SiO₂ is preferably contained, and the B₂O₃ content is preferably lower. As a result, the specific gravity is preferably at least 2.40, more preferably at least 2.42, further preferably at least 2.44, still more preferably at least 2.46, particularly preferably at least 2.48, even more preferably at least 2.50, most preferably at least 2.52. The specific gravity is preferably at most 3.0, whereby the glass is less likely to be fragile, and weigh saving is achieved, and it is more preferably at most 2.90, further preferably at most 2.80, still more preferably at most 2.75, particularly preferably at most 2.70, even more preferably at most 2.65, most preferably at most 2.62.

By a high Young's modulus, the glass plate has rigidity and is more suitable for building, for automobiles, etc. The Young's modulus is more preferably at least 65 GPa, further preferably at least 70 GPa, still more preferably at least 72 GPa, particularly preferably at least 74 GPa, even more preferably at least 75 GPa, most preferably at least 76 GPa. If SiO₂ is increased so as to increase the Young's modulus, the melting property may be deteriorated. Accordingly, the Young's modulus is preferably at most 100 GPa, more preferably at most 95 GPa, further preferably at most 90 GPa, still more preferably at most 85 GPa, particularly preferably at most 82 GPa, even more preferably at most 80 GPa, most preferably at most 78 GPa.

The average coefficient of linear expansion is preferably low from the viewpoint of occurrence of thermal stress to the temperature distribution of the glass plate when used, and accordingly the average coefficient of linear expansion from 50° C. to 350° C. is preferably at most 120×10⁻⁷/° C., more preferably at most 100×10⁻⁷/° C., more preferably at most 100×10⁻⁷/° C., further preferably at most 90×10⁻⁷/° C., particularly preferably at most 80×10⁻⁷/° C., even more preferably at most 70×10⁻⁷/° C., most preferably at most 60×10⁻⁷/° C. However, if the linear expansion coefficient is too low, the thermal expansion difference with e.g. a metal sash tends to be large, thus leading to distortion and thereby breakage. Accordingly, the average coefficient of linear expansion from 50° C. to 350° C. is preferably at least 35×10⁻⁷/° C., more preferably at least 40×10⁻⁷/° C., more preferably at least 45×10⁻⁷/° C., further preferably at least 50×10⁻⁷/° C., particularly preferably at least 55×10⁻⁷/° C.

Further, for use in applications to building, for automobiles, etc., it is preferred that physical tempering is possible, and accordingly, the average coefficient of linear expansion is more preferably higher. The average coefficient of linear expansion from 50° C. to 350° C. is more preferably at least 60×10⁻⁷/° C., further preferably at least 65×10⁻⁷/° C., particularly preferably at least 70×10⁻⁷/° C., even more preferably at least 75×10⁻7/° C., most preferably at least 80×10⁻⁷/° C.

The glass plate of the present invention is preferably such that the Na₂O elution amount in water resistance test is preferably from 0.001 mg to 0.6 mg. The water resistance test is to determine the Na₂O elution amount (mg) by JIS 3502 (1995).

A glass plate such that the Na₂O elution amount in the water resistance test is at most 0.6 mg can be commonly used as a window without any problem. The Na₂O elution amount in the water resistance test is more preferably at most 0.55 mg, further preferably at most 0.5 mg, particularly preferably at most 0.4 mg, even more preferably at most 0.35 mg, most preferably at most 0.3 mg. The Na₂O elution amount in the water resistance test is preferably smaller, however, the amount of SiO₂ should be increased so as to reduce the elution amount, and if so, the viscosity at the time of melting in glass production tends to be high, and the melting property may be deteriorated. Accordingly, the Na₂O elution amount in the water resistance test is preferably at least 0.001 mg, more preferably at least 0.01 mg, further preferably at least 0.05 mg, particularly preferably at least 0.1 mg, even more preferably at least 0.15 mg, most preferably at least 0.2 mg.

Of the glass plate of the present invention, T₂ is preferably at most 1,750° C. Further, T₄ is preferably at most 1,350° C. Further, T₄-T_L is preferably at least −150° C. In this specification, T₂ is a temperature at which the glass viscosity becomes 102 (dPa·s), T₄ is a temperature at which the glass viscosity becomes 104 (dPa·s), and T_L is the liquid phase temperature of the glass.

If T₂ or T₄ is higher than such a predetermined temperature, it is difficult to produce a large plate e.g. by float process, fusion process, roll out process or down draw process. T₂ is more preferably at most 1,700° C., further preferably at most 1,650° C., still more preferably at most 1,625° C., particularly preferably at most 1,600° C., even more preferably at most 1,575° C., still even more preferably at most 1,550° C., most preferably at most 1,500° C. T₄ is preferably at most 1,350° C., more preferably at most 1,300° C., further preferably at most 1,250° C., particularly preferably at most 1,200° C., even more preferably at most 1,150° C., still even more preferably at most 1,100° C., most preferably at most 1,050° C. The lower limits of T₂ and T₄ are not particularly limited, and in order to maintain the weather resistance and the glass specific gravity, typically T₂ is at least 1,200° C., and T₄ is at least 800° C. T₂ is more preferably at least 1,250° C., further preferably at least 1,300° C., particularly preferably at least 1,350° C., even more preferably at least 1,400° C. T₄ is more preferably at least 900° C., further preferably at least 940° C., particularly preferably 960° C., even more preferably at least 980° C., most preferably at least 1,000° C.

Further, in order that production by float process is possible, T₄-T_L is preferably at least −150° C. When T₄-T_L is at least −150° C., problems will not arise such that the glass is devitrified at the time of glass forming, mechanical properties of the glass will decrease, and the transparency will decrease, whereby glass having good quality can be obtained. T₄-T_L is more preferably at most−140° C., more preferably at most−130° C., more preferably at most−120° C., more preferably at most−110° C., more preferably at most−100° C.

Of the glass plate of the present invention, T_g is preferably from 400° C. to 750° C. In this specification, T_g represents the glass transition point. When T_g is within such a temperature range, glass bending process can be carried out within a usual production condition range. If T_g is lower than 400° C., although there is no problem in forming property, problems are likely to arise such that the alkali content or the alkaline earth content tends to be too high, whereby thermal expansion of the glass may be excessive, or the weather resistance will decrease. Further, in a forming temperature region, the glass may be devitrified and may not be formed. T_g is more preferably at least 430° C., further preferably at least 450° C., particularly preferably at least 470° C., even more preferably at least 480° C., most preferably at least 490° C. Further, if T_g is too high, high temperature is required at the time of glass bending process, and production will be more difficult. T_g is more preferably at most 650° C., more preferably at most 600° C., more preferably at most 575° C., more preferably at most 565° C., further preferably at most 555° C., particularly preferably at most 550° C., even more preferably at most 520° C., most preferably at most 500° C.

The visible light transmittance T_VA is a visible light transmittance calculated by measuring the transmittance by a spectrophotometer in accordance with JIS R3106: 1998. As the weighting factors, standard illuminant A, 2 degree field of view values are employed. In this specification, the value is represented by a value as calculated as 3.85 mm plate thickness.

The value as calculated as 3.85 mm plate thickness is a value (visible light transmittance T_VA) of the glass plate as calculated as 3.85 mm plate thickness, considering the multiple reflection, by the reflectance of the glass plate calculated by Sellmeier's equation from the refractive index of the glass plate the transmittance of which was measured.

The visible light transmittance T_VA is, to secure the visibility, although it depends on the application, preferably at least 30%, more preferably at least 40%, further preferably at least 50%, particularly preferably at least 60%, even more preferably at least 65%, most preferably at least 72%. The upper limit of the visible light transmittance T_VA varies depending upon the application, however, if it is too high, heat rays will also be transmitted in a large amount, whereby the heat shielding property may be deteriorated. Further, it is necessary to use raw materials having less impurities so as to increase the visible light transmittance T_VA, and such raw materials can hardly be available, and further, the glass should have a large amount of the SiO₂ component, whereby melting property will be deteriorated, and a large glass plate can hardly be produced. Accordingly, T_VA is preferably at most 92%. T_VA is more preferably at most 91.5%, further preferably at most 91%, particularly preferably at most 90.5%, even more preferably at most 90%, most preferably at most 89%.

The visible light transmittance T_VA is mainly adjusted by adjusting the amounts of coloring components such as Fe₂O₃ and TiO₂, however, it may be slightly adjusted also by the glass components. Further, it may be adjusted also by adjusting the glass production conditions, such as the melting temperature and the melting atmosphere.

The glass plate of the present invention, when used as a glass for vehicles, has a visible light transmittance T_VA of preferably higher than 70% so as to increase the visibility, and more preferably at least 71%, particularly preferably at least 72%.

The solar direct transmittance Te is as specified by ISO 13837A: 2008. In this specification, it is represented by a value as calculated as 3.85 mm plate thickness.

If the solar direct transmittance Te is too low, the visible light transmittance tends to be lowered, and visibility can hardly be secured, although it depends on the application. Further, such glass is hardly produced since a low Te is hardly achieved even by adjusting the melting temperature or the like. The solar direct transmittance Te is preferably at least 35%, more preferably at least 40%, preferably at least 45%, more preferably at least 50%, further preferably at least 55%, particularly preferably at least 60%, even more preferably at least 65%, most preferably at least 70%. Further, although the upper limit of the solar direct transmittance Te varies depending upon the application, if the solar direct transmittance is too high, heat rays will also be transmitted in a large amount, whereby the heat shielding property may be impaired. Further, it is necessary to use raw materials having less impurities so as to increase the solar direct transmittance Te, and such raw materials can hardly be available, and further, the glass should have a large amount of the SiO₂ component, whereby melting property will be deteriorated, and a large glass plate can hardly be produced. Accordingly, the solar direct transmittance Te is preferably at least 91%, more preferably at most 90%, further preferably at most 88%, particularly preferably at most 85%, even more preferably at most 80%, most preferably at most 75%.

The solar direct transmittance Te can be adjusted by coloring components such as Fe₂O₃ and TiO₂ or the glass components, or by adjusting the glass production conditions, such as the melting temperature and the melting atmosphere.

In a case where the glass is used as glass for vehicles having heat shielding performance, the solar direct transmittance Te is, so as to increase the heat shielding performance, preferably at most 65%, more preferably at most 60%, further preferably at most 58%, still more preferably at most 55%, particularly preferably at most 53%. On the other hand, if Te is too low, the visible light transmittance is lowered, and the visibility can hardly be secured. Accordingly, it is preferably at least 35%, more preferably at least 38%, further preferably at least 40%, particularly preferably at least 41%.

The ultraviolet transmittance Tuv is as specified by ISO 9050: 2003. In this specification, it is represented by a value as calculated as 3.85 mm plate thickness. If the ultraviolet transmittance Tuv is too high, ultraviolet rays are also transmitted in a large amount, thus adversely affecting the human body, and further, an interior material of a building, a vehicle or the like for which the glass plate of the present invention is used, may be deteriorated. Tuv is preferably at most 90%, more preferably at most 80%, further preferably at most 70%, particularly preferably at most 50%, most preferably at most 30%. It is necessary that the glass plate contains Fe₂O₃, TiO₂, CeO₂ and the like so as to lower Tuv, and if their content is high, the visible light transmittance T_VA may decrease, or solarization by sunlight may occur. Accordingly, Tuv is preferably at least 1%, more preferably at least 5%, particularly preferably at least 10%. Further, the ultraviolet transmittance Tuv is, so as to prevent deterioration of the interior material and to reduce the cooling load in the car, preferably at most 40%, more preferably at most 35%, further preferably at most 30%.

The glass plate of the present invention may be used also for a sensor employing infrared rays such as a laser radar.

Of the glass plate of the present invention, the dielectric loss can be lowered by adjusting the glass composition, whereby a high radio transmittance can be achieved. Likewise, the dielectric constant can be adjusted by adjusting the composition, and a dielectric constant suitable for the application can be achieved.

Of the glass plate of the present invention, the SiO₂ content as represented by mol % based on oxides is preferably from 55% to 75%. Further, the Al₂O₃ content is preferably from 0% to 15%. Since SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ contributes to improvement of the Young's modulus, the strength required for an application to building, an application to automobiles, is likely to be secured. If the content of Al₂O₃ and/or SiO₂ is lower than the above lower limit value, the weather resistance can hardly be secured, and further, the average coefficient of linear expansion tends to be too high, and heat breakage is likely to occur. Further, if the amount of Al₂O₃ and/or SiO₂ is too large, the viscosity at the time of glass melting will increase, whereby glass production may be difficult. Further, if the amount of Al₂O₃ is too large, the radio transmittance may be low.

The SiO₂ content is more preferably at least 57%, further preferably at least 60%, still more preferably at least 63%, particularly preferably at least 64%, even more preferably at least 65%, most preferably at least 66%. The SiO₂ content is more preferably at most 74%, further preferably at most 73%, particularly preferably at most 72%, even more preferably at most 70%, most preferably at most 69%.

The Al₂O₃ content is more preferably at least 0.3%, further preferably at least 0.5%, still more preferably at least 1.0%, particularly preferably at least 1.3%, even more preferably at least 1.5%, most preferably at least 2%. The Al₂O₃ content is, in order to keep the glass viscosity T₂ to be low thereby to facilitate glass production, more preferably at most 10%, further preferably at most 6%, still more preferably at most 5%, even more preferably at most 4%, most preferably at most 3.5%.

In order to improve the radio transmittance, SiO₂+Al₂O₃, that is, the sum of the SiO₂ content and the Al₂O₃ content is preferably from 50% to 80%. Further considering keeping T₂ and T₄ to be low and facilitating glass production, SiO₂+Al₂O₃ is preferably at most 80%, more preferably at most 75%, further preferably at most 72%, even more preferably at most 71%, most preferably at most 70%. However, if SiO₂+Al₂O₃ is too low, the weather resistance may decrease and the average coefficient of linear expansion may be too high, and accordingly SiO₂+Al₂O₃ is preferably at least 55%, preferably at least 64%, more preferably at least 65%, further preferably at least 66%, even more preferably at least 67%, most preferably at least 68%.

Of the glass plate of the present invention, the B₂O₃ content is preferably from 0% to 15%. By B₂O₃ being contained, the melting property and the glass strength will improve, and an effect to increase the radio transmittance will be obtained. If the amount of B₂O₃ is too large, alkali elements are likely to volatilize during melting/forming, thus leading to deterioration of the glass quality. Further, if the amount of B₂O₃ is large, the average coefficient of linear expansion becomes low, whereby physical tempering tends to be difficult. The B₂O₃ content is more preferably at most 12%, further preferably at most 10%, still more preferably at most 8%, particularly preferably at most 6%, even more preferably at most 4%, most preferably at most 2%. It is very preferred that substantially no B₂O₃ is contained.

Of the glass plate of the present invention, the MgO content is preferably from 0% to 20%. MgO is a component which promotes melting of glass raw materials and improves the weather resistance. The MgO content is more preferably at least 0.1%, further preferably at least 0.2%, particularly preferably at least 0.3%, even more preferably at least 0.5%. If the MgO content is at most 20%, devitrification is less likely to occur, and an effect to increase the radio transmittance may sometimes be obtained. The MgO content is more preferably at most 15%, further preferably at most 8%, particularly preferably at most 4%, even more preferably at most 2%, most preferably at most 1%.

In the glass plate of the present invention, CaO, SrO and/or BaO may be contained in a certain amount so as to reduce the dielectric loss of the glass. The CaO content is preferably at least 0% and at most 20%. The SrO content is preferably at least 0% and at most 15%. The BaO content is preferably from 0% to 15%. When CaO, SrO and/or BaO is contained, the melting property of the glass may improve. The CaO content is more preferably at least 3%, whereby the dielectric loss of the glass reduces, and thus the radio transmittance will improve. Further, CaO being contained in a content of at least 3% may lead to an improvement of the melting property of the glass (a decrease of T₂ and a decrease of T₄). The CaO content is further preferably at least 6%, particularly preferably at least 8%, even more preferably at least 10%, most preferably at least 11%. By the CaO content being at most 20%, the SrO content being at most 15% and the BaO content being at most 15%, an increase of the specific gravity of the glass will be avoided, and low fragility and the strength can be maintained.

In order to prevent the glass from being fragile, the CaO content is more preferably at most 15%, further preferably at most 14%, particularly preferably at most 13.5%, even more preferably at most 13%, most preferably at most 12.5%. The SrO content is more preferably at most 8%, further preferably at most 3%, particularly preferably at most 2%, even more preferably at most 1%, and most preferably substantially no SrO is contained. The BaO content is more preferably at most 5%, further preferably at most 3%, particularly preferably at most 2%, even more preferably at most 1%, and most preferably substantially no BaO is contained.

In this specification, “RO” means the total content of MgO, CaO, SrO and BaO. Of the glass plate of the present invention, RO is preferably from 0% to 20%. When RO is at most 20%, an improvement of the weather resistance will be obtained. In the glass plate of the present invention, RO is more preferably at most 17%, further preferably at most 16%, particularly preferably at most 15%, even more preferably at most 14%, most preferably at most 13%.

Further, with a view to lowering T₂ and T₄ at the time of production, or with a view to increasing the Young's modulus, of the glass plate of the present invention, RO is preferably higher than 0%, more preferably at least 0.5%, further preferably at least 5%, particularly preferably at least 8%, even more preferably at least 10%, most preferably at least 12%.

Further, in order to prevent occurrence of devitrification at the time of glass melting or at the time of forming, thus leading to deterioration of the glass quality, MgO+CaO, that is, the sum of the MgO content and the CaO content is preferably from 0% to 30%. MgO+CaO is more preferably at most 25%, further preferably at most 20%, even more preferably at most 15%, most preferably at most 13%. However, if MgO+CaO is too low, the glass viscosity at the time of melting/forming may be too high, whereby glass production may be difficult. Accordingly, MgO+CaO is more preferably at least 1%, further preferably at least 2%, particularly preferably at least 3%, even more preferably at least 4%, most preferably at least 5%.

Na₂O and K₂O are components which improve the melting property of the glass, and by either one or both being contained each in a content of at least 0.1%, T₂ and T₄ can easily be kept to be at most 1,750° C. and at most 1,350° C., respectively. Further, by Na₂O being contained, chemical tempering is possible. The Na₂O content is more preferably at least 0.1%, further preferably at least 1%, particularly preferably at least 3%, even more preferably at least 5%, most preferably at least 6%.

It is more preferred that both Na₂O and K₂O are contained, whereby the weather resistance can be improved while the melting property is maintained, and further, an effect to increase the radio transmittance may sometimes be obtained. If the Na₂O and/or K₂O content is low, the average coefficient of linear expansion cannot be made high, and heat tempering may not be conducted. Within the above predetermined amount, the glass may be utilized as a material for a window having favorable compatibility with another member.

If the Na₂O amount is too large, the average coefficient of linear expansion will be too high, whereby heat breakage is likely to occur. The Na₂O content is more preferably at most 16%, further preferably at most 14%, particularly preferably at most 12%, even more preferably at most 10%, most preferably at most 8%.

Of the glass plate of the present invention, the K₂O content is preferably at least 0% to 20%. K₂O is a component which improves the melting property of the glass and is likely to keep T₂ and T₄ to be at most 1,750° C. and at most 1,350° C., respectively, and accordingly the K₂O content is more preferably at least 0.1%, further preferably at least 0.9%, particularly preferably at least 2%, even more preferably at least 3%, most preferably at least 4%.

Further, if the amount of K₂O is too large, the average coefficient of linear expansion may be too high, and heat breakage is likely to occur.

Li₂O is a component which improves the melting property of the glass, and further, increases the Young's modulus and contributes to an improvement of the strength of the glass. By Li₂O being contained, chemical tempering is possible, and further, an effect to increase the radio transmittance may sometimes be obtained. The Li₂O content is more preferably at least 0.1%, further preferably at least 1%, particularly preferably at least 2%, even more preferably at least 3%, most preferably at least 4%.

If the amount of Li₂O is too large, devitrification or phase separation may occur at the time of glass production, whereby glass production may be difficult. The Li₂O content is more preferably at most 16%, further preferably at most 12%, particularly preferably at most 8%, even more preferably at most 7%, most preferably at most 6.5%.

In this specification, “R₂O” means the total amount of alkali metal oxides, and usually means the total content of Li₂O, Na₂O and K₂O.

If the ZrO₂ content is high, the liquid phase temperature will increase, and the average coefficient of linear expansion may increase. The ZrO₂ content is more preferably at most 2.5%, further preferably at most 2%, particularly preferably at most 1.0%, even more preferably at most 0.5%, and most preferably substantially no ZrO₂ is contained.

The glass plate of the present invention preferably satisfies 85%≤SiO₂+Al₂O₃+MgO+CaO+SrO+BaO+Li₂O+Na₂O+K₂O+Fe₂O₃+TiO₂≤100%, whereby a glass plate can be produced from easily available glass raw materials, and the weather resistance of the glass plate is likely to be secured. The above total content is more preferably at least 88%, further preferably at least 90%, particularly preferably at least 92%, even more preferably at least 95%, still even more preferably at least 98%, most preferably at least 99.5%. Since a glass plate for a window material typically contains a coloring agent, a fining agent, etc., the upper limit of the above total content is more preferably 99.9%.

Of the glass plate of the present invention, the Fe₂O₃ content is preferably from 0.001% to 5%. Here, the Fe₂O₃ content is a total iron content including FeO which is an oxide of bivalent iron and Fe₂O₃ which is an oxide of trivalent iron. If the Fe₂O₃ content is less than 0.001%, the glass plate may not be used for an application for which heat shielding property is required, it is necessary to use an expensive raw material having a low iron content for production of the glass plate, and further, thermal radiation may reach the bottom of the melting furnace more than necessary at the time of glass melting and a burden may be imposed on the melting furnace. The Fe₂O₃ content is more preferably at least 0.005%, further preferably at least 0.01%, particularly preferably at least 0.015%, even more preferably at least 0.02%, most preferably at least 0.05%.

If the Fe₂O₃ content is higher than 5%, heat transfer by radiation may be inhibited, whereby the raw materials may not easily be melted. Further, if the Fe₂O₃ content is too high, the light transmittance in the visible region decreases (Tv decreases), and such a glass plate may not be suitable for an application to automobiles. Accordingly, the Fe₂O₃ content is more preferably at most 2%, further preferably at most 1%, further preferably at most 0.8%, still more preferably at most 0.6%, particularly preferably at most 0.5%, even more preferably at most 0.4%, most preferably at most 0.3%.

Of the glass plate of the present invention, in a case where an infrared irradiation apparatus such as a laser radar is used, the content of bivalent iron (FeO) as calculated as Fe₂O₃ is preferably from 0.0001% to 0.02%. In order to increase the heat absorption efficiency of the glass melt at the time of melting the glass raw materials and to improve the melting property, the content is preferably at least 0.0002%, more preferably at least 0.0006%, further preferably at least 0.0008%, particularly preferably at least 0.001%. Further, FeO absorbs light from the visible region to the near infrared region, so as to increase the transmittance in a near infrared region, the content is preferably at most 0.015%, more preferably at most 0.01%, further preferably at most 0.008%, particularly preferably at most 0.006%, particularly preferably at most 0.004%.

Of the glass plate of the present invention, in a case where it is required to have heat shielding performance, the content of bivalent iron (FeO) as calculated as Fe₂O₃ is preferably from 0.05% to 0.16%. Since FeO absorbs light from the visible region to the near infrared region and increases the heat shielding performance, the FeO content is preferably at least 0.07%, more preferably at least 0.08%, further preferably at least 0.09%, particularly preferably at least 0.1%. Further, if the FeO content is high, the glass will absorb heat at the time of production, whereby the glass production may be difficult, and accordingly the FeO content is preferably at most 0.015%, more preferably at most 0.01%, further preferably at most 0.008%, particularly preferably at most 0.006%, particularly preferably at most 0.004%.

Of the glass plate of the present invention, in a case where an infrared irradiation apparatus such as a laser radar is used, the mass ratio of bivalent iron as calculated as Fe₂O₃ to the total iron as calculated as Fe₂O₃ (hereinafter sometimes referred to as Fe-redox) is preferably higher than 0% and at most 35%. Here, the mass ratio of bivalent iron as calculated as Fe₂O₃ means the ratio of the content of FeO which is an oxide of bivalent iron as calculated as the form of Fe₂O₃, to the total iron content. That is, the content of bivalent iron as calculated as Fe₂O₃ is calculated by multiplying the FeO content by {(159.7÷2)/71.85}, since the molecular weight of FeO is 71.85 g/mol, and the molecular weight of Fe₂O₃ is 159.7 g/mol. By Fe-redox being higher than 0%, the heat absorption efficiency of the glass melt at the time of melting the glass raw materials is increased, and the melting property can be improved. As a method of adjusting Fe-redox, for example, melting at low temperature, or use of an oxidizing agent such as cerium oxide or chromium oxide may be mentioned. Fe-redox is preferably at least 1%, more preferably at least 2%, further preferably at least 3%, particularly preferably at least 4%, most preferably at least 5%.

Further, if Fe-redox is high, the transmittance in the near infrared region may be decreased, and accordingly Fe-redox is preferably at most 35%, more preferably at most 30%, further preferably at most 25%, still more preferably at most 20%, particularly preferably at most 15%, most preferably at most 10%.

Of the glass plate of the present invention, in a case where it is required to have heat shielding performance, Fe-redox is preferably higher than 30%, more preferably at least 35%, further preferably at least 40%, still more preferably at least 45%, particularly preferably at least 50%, most preferably at least 55%. By Fe-redox being higher than 30%, the heat shielding property of the glass may be improved. As a method of increasing Fe-redox, for example, melting at high temperature, or use of a reducing agent such as tin oxide or coke may be mentioned.

In a case where the glass plate of the present invention contains SO₃, if it is melted in a reducing atmosphere so as to increase Fe-redox, sulfur (S) becomes negative bivalent sulfur. As a result, it reacts with positive bivalent iron in the glass, thus causing amber coloring, whereby the transmittance in the visible region may decrease. Accordingly, Fe-redox is preferably at most 80%, more preferably at most 75%, further preferably at most 70%, still more preferably at most 65%, particularly preferably at most 60%, most preferably at most 58%.

Of the glass plate of the present invention, the TiO₂ content is preferably from 0.001% to 5%. If the TiO₂ content is less than 0.001%, at the time of production of the glass plate of the present invention, a bubble layer may form on the molten glass surface. If a bubble layer forms, the temperature of the molten glass will not increase, whereby the molten glass can hardly be fined, whereby the productivity tends to deteriorate. In order to reduce or eliminate the bubble layer formed on the molten glass surface, a titanium compound as an anti-foaming agent may be supplied to the bubble layer formed on the molten glass surface. The titanium compound is included into the molten glass, and is present as TiO₂. This titanium compound may be an inorganic titanium compound (such as titanium tetrachloride or titanium oxide) or may be an organic titanium compound. The organic titanium compound may be a titanate or its derivative, a titanium chelate or its derivative, a titanium acylate or its derivative, or titanium oxalate. The TiO₂ content is more preferably at least 0.005%, further preferably at least 0.01%, particularly preferably at least 0.02%, even more preferably at least 0.05%, most preferably at least 0.06%. Further, since TiO₂ has absorption in the ultraviolet region, it is preferably added for an application in which ultraviolet rays should be blocked. In such a case, the TiO₂ content is preferably at least 0.04%, more preferably at least 0.1%, further preferably at least 0.2%, particularly preferably at least 0.5%. However, if the TiO₂ content is high, the liquid phase temperature will increase, and devitrification may occur, and further, since TiO₂ has absorption in the visible region, yellow coloring may occur, and accordingly the TiO₂ content is preferably at most 5%. The TiO₂ content is more preferably at most 1%, further preferably at most 0.5%, particularly preferably at most 0.3%, even more preferably at most 0.2%, most preferably at most 0.1%.

In a case where an infrared irradiation apparatus such as a laser radar is used, if moisture is present in the glass, which has absorption in the near infrared region, the transmittance in the near infrared region decreases, and such glass is not suitable for application to an infrared irradiation apparatus. Moisture in the glass is generally represented by a value p-OH, and p-OH is preferably at most 0.5, more preferably at most 0.4, further preferably at most 0.3, particularly preferably at most 0.2. β-OH may be obtained in accordance with the following formula from the transmittance of the glass plate measured by using FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer):

β-OH (mm⁻¹)=(1/X)log₁₀(T_A/T_B)

• • X: thickness (mm) of glass plate
  • T_A: transmittance (%) at a reference wave number of 4,000 cm-1
  • T_B: minimum transmittance (%) in the vicinity of hydroxy group absorption wave number of 3,600 cm⁻¹

The heat shielding property of the glass plate of the present invention can be increased when moisture is present in the glass, which has absorption in the near infrared region. So as to increase the heat shielding property, β-OH in the glass is preferably at least 0.05, more preferably at least 0.07, further preferably at least 0.1, particularly preferably at least 0.15.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a radio communication apparatus comprising the glass plate according to the above embodiment is provided.

In this specification, the “radio communication apparatus” means an electronic apparatus medium utilizing radio communication. The “radio communication apparatus” may include a mobile phone, a tablet, a personal computer, a clock, glasses, etc. In this specification, the “radio communication apparatus” comprises a front member and a rear member, and the glass plate according to the embodiment may be used for at least part of the front member or the rear member. Further, typically, the radio communication apparatus has a body holding the front member and the rear member. It may have, in the interior surrounded by the front member, the rear member and the body, an element having display function, an electric circuit board to drive the element, etc. The element having display function may, for example, be a liquid crystal display device or an organic EL device. Information can be displayed by the element having display function at least on the front member side. Information may also be displayed by the element having display function also on the rear member side as the case requires. The front member and the rear member may have a shape corresponding to the application and may be flat or curved.

The front member and the rear member may have a hole for a speaker, an operation button, a camera lens or the like. Typically, the front member has a hole for a speaker and an operation button, and the rear member has a hole for a camera lens.

When the difference in the radio transmittance is at least 4%, radio transmitting/receiving is carried out via the member having a higher radio transmittance between the front member and the rear member, and radio transmitting/receiving from the other member can be suppressed. For example, in a case where a speaker or a microphone is provided on the front member side, the front member side is used on the human head side, and by using the glass plate having a low radio transmittance on the front member side, radio waves which reach the human head can be weakened, and by using the glass plate having a high radio transmittance on the rear member side, radio transmitting/receiving can be conducted.

According to an embodiment, the radio communication apparatus has an antenna as a radio transmitting/receiving apparatus. The antenna may be disposed adjacent to or in contact with the glass plate, or may be formed in the glass plate, whereby the transmitting/receiving sensitivity of the antenna can be improved. Further, the antenna is preferably one capable of transmitting/receiving electromagnetic waves at a frequency of at least 1.0 GHz. The frequency of the radio waves transmitted/received by the antenna is preferably at least 2.4 GHz, more preferably at least 5 GHz, further preferably at least 10 GHz, particularly preferably at least 15 GHz, most preferably at least 25 GHz. There is no particular upper limit, and considering the application of the glass of the present invention, the frequency is at most 100 GHz, preferably at most 90 GHz.

On the other hand, the glass plate may have lowered strength if it is thin, and accordingly, the thickness is more preferably at least 0.5 mm. The thickness may not necessarily be uniform, may be distributed, and can be determined depending upon the application. If the thickness of the glass plate is distributed, the thickness at the thickest portion is defined as the “thickness of the glass plate” (the same applies in this specification).

Further, according to an embodiment, the thickness of the glass plate which the radio communication apparatus comprises is, when the glass plate is used for a part of or the entire front member, preferably at most 2.5 mm, more preferably at most 1.5 mm, further preferably at most 1.3 mm, particularly preferably at most 1.1 mm, even more preferably at most 0.9 mm, most preferably at most 0.7 mm. On the other hand, the glass plate may have lowered strength if it is thin, and accordingly the thickness is more preferably at least 0.5 mm. The thickness may not necessarily be uniform, may be distributed, and can be determined depending upon the application.

The visible light transmittance of the glass plate which the radio communication apparatus comprises may be adjusted depending upon the application, and the visible light transmittance of the glass plate used for a side on which information is displayed is more preferably at least 60% as calculated as 3.85 mm thickness.

EXAMPLES

Now, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to Examples. However, it should be understood that the present invention is by no means restricted to such specific Examples.

[Preparation of Glass Plate Sample]

A glass plate having a composition (unit: mol %) as identified in the following Tables 1-1 to 1-28 was produced by a common method known to those skilled in the art. Specifically, raw materials were put in a platinum crucible so as to achieve the identified glass composition and melted at 1,550° C. for 2 hours, the melt was cast on a carbon plate and annealed to obtain a plate of glass. Both surfaces of the obtained plate were polished to obtain a glass plate having a thickness of about 30 mm.

Methods to determine values shown in Tables 1-1 to 1-28 are shown below.

(1) Average Coefficient of Linear Expansion (a) from 50 to 350° C.:

The average coefficient of linear expansion (a) was measured by a differential thermal dilatometer (TMA) and obtained as specified by JIS R3102 (1995).

(2) Glass Transition Point (T_g):

The glass transition point (T_g) was a value measured by TMA and determined by the specification of JIS R 3103-3 (2001).

(3) Specific Gravity (d):

The specific gravity (d) was obtained by measuring about 20 g of a glass block containing no bubble, cut out from the glass plate, by Archimedes' principle.

(4) Viscosity:

The viscosity was measured by a rotation viscosimeter, and the temperature T₂ (standard temperature for melting property) when the viscosity n becomes 102 dPa·s, and the temperature T₄ (standard temperature for forming property) when the viscosity n becomes 104 dPa·s were measured.

(5) Liquid Phase Temperature (TO:

Platinum dishes on which 5 g of a glass block cut out from the glass plate was put, were respectively put in electric furnaces at different temperatures higher than the glass transition point, held for 17 hours, taken out of the furnaces and cooled. Whether precipitation was observed or not on the surface and in the inside of the glass block after cooling was examined, and the minimum temperature after held for 17 hours, among temperatures when no crystal was precipitated, was taken as the liquid phase temperature.

(6) Young's Modulus (E):

The Young's modulus (E) was measured by ultrasonic glass technique (Olympus Corporation, DL35) at 25° C.

(7) Water Resistance:

It was measured as a Na₂O elution amount (mg) as specified by JIS R3502 (1995).

(8) Visible Light Transmittance (T_VA):

The glass plate was formed into a rectangle of 30.0 mm×30.0 mm×3.85 mm in thickness, and the 30.0 mm×30.0 mm faces were polished to mirror surface. The transmittance was measured by a spectrophotometer in accordance with JIS R3106: 1998, and the visible light transmittance T_VA was calculated. As the spectrophotometer, spectrophotometer U4100 manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation was used. As the weighting factors, standard illuminant A, 2 degree field of view values are employed. The value is as calculated as 3.85 mm plate thickness.

The value as calculated as 3.85 mm plate thickness is a value (visible light transmittance T_VA) of the glass plate as calculated as 3.85 mm plate thickness, considering the multiple reflection, by the reflectance of the glass plate calculated by Sellmeier's equation from the refractive index of the glass plate the transmittance of which was measured.

Glass having a visible light transmittance T_VA of from 30 to 92% is represented by “◯”, and a glass having a visible light transmittance T_VA of higher than 92% or lower than 30% is represented by “x”.

(9) Solar Direct Transmittance (Te):

As for Te, the transmittance was measured in accordance with ISO-13837A: 2008 by a spectrophotometer, and the solar direct transmittance Te was calculated. It is represented by a value as calculated as 3.85 mm plate thickness.

A glass plate having a solar direct transmittance Te of from 35 to 91% is represented by “◯”, and a glass having a solar direct transmittance Te of higher than 91% or lower than 35% is represented by “x”.

(10) Ultraviolet Transmittance (Tuv):

Tuv is as specified by ISO-9050: 2003.

(11) Transmittance at Wavelength 905 nm, Transmittance at Wavelength 1,550 nm

They were measured by a spectrophotometer. They are represented by values as calculated as 3.85 mm plate thickness.

(12) FeO Content

Ground glass was decomposed by a mixed acid of hydrofluoric acid and hydrochloric acid at room temperature, a certain amount of the decomposed liquid was collected in a plastic container, and a 2,2′-dipyridyl solution and an ammonium acetate buffer solution were quickly added for color development of only Fe²⁺. The color developer was diluted with deionized water for a certain amount, and the absorbance at a wavelength of 522 nm was measured by an absorptiometer. And, from an analytical curve prepared by using a standard solution, the concentration was calculated and the FeO amount was calculated. FeO in Tables is the FeO amount as calculated as Fe₂O₃.

(13) Radio Transmittance

The radio transmittance with 18 mm thickness at 100 GHz, the exponential approximation formula of relation between frequency and radio transmittance (as calculated as 18 mm thickness) constant 1, and the exponential approximation formula of relation between frequency and radio transmittance (as calculated as 18 mm thickness) constant 2 were calculated from the above-described methods. The radio transmittance with 18 mm thickness at 100 GHz was obtained by carrying out exponential approximation as described above. The dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of the glass used for calculation were measured by cavity resonator method.

(14) Radio Transmitted Amount of Laminated Glass

Both surfaces of the glass plate were further polished to obtain a glass plate having a thickness of 2.0 mm. Two such glass plates having a thickness of 2.0 mm were laminated by means of a polyvinyl butyral (interlayer; PVB) adhesive layer and pre-bonded with vacuum suction, and the laminate was heated and pressurized by an autoclave chamber to obtain a laminated glass. The thickness of the adhesive layer in the obtained laminated glass was 0.7 mm.

The radio transmitted amount of the obtained laminated glass was measured by free space method. Antennas were disposed to face each other, the obtained laminated glass was disposed between them, and the radio transmitted amount of the laminated glass was measured based on a case where there is no laminated glass at an opening part having a diameter of 100 mm being 0 dB. The radio transmitted amount was measured at a frequency within a range of from 65 to 85 GHz.

FIG. 4 is a graph illustrating the measured value of the radio transmitted amount and the calculated value of the radio transmitted amount obtained by exponential approximation of the laminated glass in Comparative Example 1. Well agreement between the measured value and the calculated value was confirmed. The same calculation was conducted in Example 3, Example 4, Example 11 and Example 25. FIG. 5 is a graph illustrating the measured value of the radio transmitted amount and the calculated value of the radio transmitted amount obtained by exponential approximation of the laminated glass in each of Comparative Example 1, Example 3, Example 4, Example 11 and Example 25. The frequency at the maximum value can be adjusted by the dielectric constant and the thickness of the glass. Agreement between the measured value and the calculated value was confirmed.

In Tables, “-” means that measurement was not conducted, and values obtained by calculation from the composition were represented in italics

[Studies on Calculation Model of Radio Transmittance]

Using the glass plate employed in Comparative Example 1 in Table 1, the difference between the transmittance of radio waves measured and the calculated model was confirmed. The measured value is one obtained by measurement by free space method using a 30 cm×30 cm glass plate. The calculation model of the free space method is a calculation model used in simulation by CST Microwave Studio 2016 electromagnetic simulator. The basic conditions of the simulation are as described in this specification. As a result of the studies, it was found that by adjusting the tan δ value input in the calculation model with precision to three decimal places, the calculation model in a high frequency band (for example at least 50 GHz) was optimized, and more accurate fitting to measured values with respect to the glass plates having different thicknesses (for example 5 mm and 10 mm) was achieved.

Using the optimized calculation model, the radio transmittance or the approximate transmittance with respect to Comparative Example (conventional glass plate) was determined, and compared with those in Examples 1 to 249. As a result, the glass in each Example had a radio transmittance at a frequency of 100 GHz as calculated as 18 mm thickness of at least 20%, and was found to be superior to that in Comparative Example. Further, it was found that both radio transmittance×A where A is 0.009 m² and radio transmittance/thickness t at a thickness of 3.85 mm were more excellent than in Comparative Example.

[Comparison of Radio Transmittance]

FIGS. 2A to 2D are graphs illustrating the electric field strength ratios of glass plates with 18 mm thickness in Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 to 20. The black curve represents the electric field strength ratio in Comparative Example, the black dotted line represents the radio transmittance calculated by the exponential approximation of curve of the electric field strength ratio in Comparative Example (approximation into a function [radio transmittance]=[constant 1]×e^{[constant 2]×[frequency]}, that is, “exponential approximation of the relation between the frequency and the electric field strength ratio”). Likewise, gray curves respectively represent the electric field strength ratios in the respective Examples, and gray dotted lines represent ratio transmittances calculated by corresponding exponential approximation. The glass plates in Examples are found to generally have a high radio transmittance in GHz frequency band.

FIGS. 3A to 3D are graphs illustrating the approximate transmittances calculated at representative frequencies based on the exponential approximation formula obtained in FIGS. 2A to 2D. FIG. 3A corresponds to FIG. 2A, FIG. 3B to FIG. 2B, FIG. 3C to FIG. 2C, and FIG. 3D to FIG. 2D, and represent the approximate transmittances in Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 to 20. It is found that in each Example, remarkably improved radio transmission characteristics than in Comparative Example are obtained.

Further, the glass plates in Examples 21 to 249 have any of the composition ranges as described in the above ten embodiments, and thereby have a high radio transmittance.

Further, the dielectric loss tan δ at a frequency of 35 GHz was at least 0.001 and at most 0.019 with respect to the glass in Examples 5 to 7 and 17 to 20, at least 0.001 and at most 0.013 with respect to the glass in Examples 2, 4, 8 to 10, 12, 14, 16 and 21 to 23, and at least 0.001 to at most 0.011 with respect to the glass in Examples 1, 3, 11, 13, 15 and 24.

From the results in Examples 3, 4, 11 and 25, the laminated glass in each Example has a higher radio transmittance than the laminated glass in Comparative Example.
