Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a glass plate including a first main surface subjected to antiglare treatment, and a second main surface opposed to the first main surface, in which a clarity index value T, a reflection image diffusiveness index value R and an anti-sparkle index value S satisfy respective relations of: clarity index value T≥0.8; reflection image diffusiveness index value R≥0.01; and anti-sparkle index value S≥0.85; and a transmission haze measured by a method according to JIS K 7136 (2000) being 15% or less. The glass plate of the present invention is excellent in clarity, reflection image diffusiveness and anti-sparkle, and also excellent in reproducibility of color.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A glass plate comprising a first main surface subjected to antiglare treatment, and a second main surface opposed to the first main surface, wherein: a clarity index value T, a reflection image diffusiveness index value R and an anti-sparkle index value S quantified by methods shown below satisfy respective relations of: clarity index value T≥0.8; reflection image diffusiveness index value R≥0.01; and anti-sparkle index value S≥0.85; and a transmission haze measured by a method according to JIS K 7136 (2000) is 15% or less, wherein: clarity index value T: when a direction parallel to a thickness direction of the glass plate is regarded as an angle θ=0°, an average value of luminance within a range of the angle θ=0°±0.1° is taken as T 1 , an average value of luminance within a range of the angle θ=0.7°±0.1° is taken as T 2 , and an average value of luminance within a range of the angle θ=−0.7°±0.1° is taken as T 3 , and the clarity index value T is a value calculated by the following expression (1): clarity index value T= 1−( T 2 +T 3 )/(2× T 1 )  expression (1), reflection image diffusiveness index value R: when a direction parallel to the thickness direction of the glass plate is regarded as an angle ϕ=0°, the light is radiated from an angle ϕ=5.7°±0.1°, and the angle ϕ=−5.7° at specular reflection is regarded as reference (an angle α=0°), an average value of luminance of the reflected light within a range of the angle α=0°±0.1° is taken as R 1 , an average value of luminance of the reflected light within a range of the angle α=0.5°±0.1° is taken as R 2 , and an average value of luminance of the reflected light within a range of the angle α=−0.5°±0.1° is taken as R 3 , the reflection image diffusiveness index value R is a value calculated by the following expression (2): reflection image diffusiveness index value R =( R 2 +R 3 )/(2× R 1 )  expression (2), anti-sparkle index value S: when the glass plate is disposed so that the second main surface of the glass plate contacts with a display surface side of a display device with a resolution of 264 ppi; with a single-color image of green composed of RGB (0, 255, 0) being displayed on the display device, a sparkle value is obtained by image analysis, the sparkle value obtained as sparkle S a ; a distance d between a solid-state image sensor and the glass plate is set at 540 mm, and as a camera lens, lens having a focal length of 50 mm is used with an aperture of 5.6; a glass substrate having the same thickness as the aforementioned glass plate is also used as a reference sample, and image analysis is performed under similar conditions; a sparkle value thus obtained is regarded as S s ; the values S a and S s , the anti-sparkle index value S is calculated by the following expression (3): anti-sparkle index value S= 1−( S a /S s )  expression (3). 2. The glass plate according to claim 1 , wherein: the clarity index value T, the reflection image diffusiveness index value R and the anti-sparkle index value S satisfy respective relations of: the clarity index value T≥0.85; the reflection image diffusiveness index value R≥0.02; and the anti-sparkle index value S≥0.88; and the transmission haze is 7% or less. 3. The glass plate according to claim 1 , wherein an antireflection layer is provided on at least a part of the first main surface. 4. The glass plate according to claim 1 , wherein an antifouling layer is provided on an outermost surface of the first main surface side. 5. The glass plate according to of claim 1 , wherein a printed layer is provided on at least a part of the second main surface. 6. The glass plate according to claim 1 , wherein the glass plate is soda-lime glass or aluminosilicate glass. 7. The glass plate according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first main surface and the second main surface is subjected to chemically strengthening treatment. 8. The glass plate according to claim 1 , wherein a bent portion is provided in at least one of the first main surface and the second main surface. 9. A display device comprising the glass plate according to claim 1 , and a light emitting body.
