Abstract

A glass plate includes a first surface provided with a first film; and a second surface provided with a second film and opposite to the first surface. Each of the first film and the second film includes mainly tin oxide and has a sheet resistance value of 20 Ω/□ or less. When film thicknesses of the first and second films are θ1 nm and θ2 nm respectively, and when, in the glass plate, a haze value measured from the first surface side for a configuration provided with the first film only is H1 (%), and a haze value measured from the second surface side for a configuration provided with the second film only is H2 (%), a value of θ1 divided by H1 is 500 or more but 1200 or less, and a value of θ2 divided by H2 is 300 or more but 750 or less.

a value of θ 2 divided by H 2 (θ 2 /H 2 ) is 300 or more but 750 or less.

2. The glass plate according to claim 1 further comprising at least one of:
a first insulated undercoat layer between the first film and the first surface; and
a second insulated undercoat layer between the second film and the second surface.

3. The glass plate according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least one of the first film and the second film is consisting of a fluorine-doped tin oxide.

4. The glass plate according to claim 1 ,
wherein the glass plate has a transmittance of 70% or more.

5. The glass plate according to claim 1 ,
wherein the glass plate has an emissivity of 0.25 or less.
