管理の下で製造されている。[0003] The flat glass for a liquid crystal display used for the above-mentioned applications has an image which is distorted or blurred when there are internal defects (bubbles, inclusion of foreign substances, etc.) or external defects (irregularities, scratches, adhesion of foreign substances, contamination, etc.) on the main surface. Since turbidity, luminescent spots, etc. occur and cause serious damage such as obscuring the display, it is manufactured under strict control from the manufacturing process to the finishing process in order to maintain high accuracy and precision.

４で仕上げ研削を行うのが一般的であった。Conventionally, a method of chamfering a glass sheet for a liquid crystal display has an annular groove 11 having a groove width slightly larger than the thickness of a glass substrate 10 as shown in FIG.
Rough grinding is performed using a rotary grinding wheel 12 for rough grinding in which abrasive grains having a large particle diameter such as diamond abrasive grains are bonded by a metal bond or the like, and then, as shown in FIG. A rotary grindstone 1 for finishing grinding which has an annular groove 13 of a shape and in which fine abrasive grains such as silicon carbide are combined with polyurethane resin or the like.
It was common to perform finish grinding at 4.

繰り返すようにされている。In the above method, the circular grooves 11, 13 of the rotary grindstones 12, 14 are pressed against the end face of the glass substrate 10 to perform the chamfering. When it becomes worse, dressing is performed and machining is continued again, and this is repeated several times.
When the grooves 1 and 13 gradually increase in depth and reach a predetermined depth, grinding flaws occur on the surface adjacent to the end face of the glass substrate 10 due to the inner surfaces on both sides of the annular grooves 11 and 13. At this point, the annular grooves 11 and 13 reach the end of their life,
Either replace it with a new grindstone or, if it is a wide grindstone 15 as shown in FIG.
6, when the annular groove 16 reaches the end of its life as described above, the position is further shifted and a new annular groove 17 is formed.
, And this is repeated over the entire length of the grinding wheel in the width direction.

低下するという問題があった。However, in this method, it is necessary to replace the whetstone with a long unused area between the annular grooves or at the bottom of the groove, etc., so that the whetstone has a very short life and is uneconomical. Not only that, it is necessary to temporarily stop the operation of the chamfering machine at each time such as dressing, position adjustment, wheel replacement, etc., and to perform such work, especially in the case of finish grinding wheels. Has a problem that the production efficiency is remarkably reduced because the wear is severe, the life of the grindstone is correspondingly short, and the frequency of dressing, position adjustment, replacement of the grindstone and the like is increased.

という問題もあった。In the above method, corners often remain on both sides of the end face of the glass substrate 10, and when post-processing is performed on a surface plate or the like, the corners are likely to be chipped. Of the fragments, fine particles that cannot be visually confirmed may remain attached to the main surface of the glass substrate 10. There was a problem of becoming one. Further, in the above method, the finish grinding of the center portion of the end surface of the chamfered glass substrate 10 is likely to be insufficient, and the rough surface may be rough. There is also a problem that, as described above, if it remains attached to the main surface of the liquid crystal display 10 and is directly incorporated into a liquid crystal display device, it becomes one of the factors that render the display unclear.

る。Conventionally, in order to solve the above problem, the end face of the glass substrate 10 roughly ground in FIG. 4A is replaced with FIG. 4C and FIG. 4D instead of FIG. 4B. In some cases, finish grinding is performed by the method shown in (1). That is, as shown in FIG. 4C, a pair of upper and lower rotary grinding stones 18 and 19 for finish grinding are formed at a predetermined angle (for example, 45 degrees with respect to the end face) with respect to both side corners of the end face of the glass substrate 10. Angle) to finish grind the corners,
As shown in FIG. 4 (D), this is a method in which the center of the end face of the glass substrate 10 is ground with a rotary grindstone 20 for finish grinding.

なり、生産効率が著しく低下するという問題があった。In the conventional chamfering method for a glass substrate, it is necessary to replace a whetstone with many unused areas remaining as a service life, and the life of the whetstone is very short, and the running time is extremely short. Higher costs,
Moreover, when dressing or adjusting the position to the next annular groove,
In addition, it is necessary to temporarily stop the operation of the processing machine when replacing and replacing the rotating grindstone. In particular, with relatively soft whetstones such as finishing whetstones and resin bonds, wear is fast,
Since the service life is short, the operation of the processing machine is often stopped, and there has been a problem that production efficiency is significantly reduced.

る。According to this configuration, the progress of the wear of the rotary grindstone is such that the end face of the plate-like object is chamfered in an arc while just widening the groove width and depth of the annular groove. . Therefore, the chamfering of the end face of the plate-like object can be continuously performed until the region over substantially the entire length in the axial direction width dimension of the rotary grindstone is worn. As a result, the continuous operation of the processing machine becomes possible, and the unused area of the rotating grindstone is remarkably reduced, and the life of the grindstone can be extended two to three times as compared with the conventional one. It is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the plate-like object. Moreover, according to the present invention, the wear of the annular groove proceeds not only in the depth direction as in the conventional case but also in the groove width direction at the same time, so that the front and back surfaces near the end surface of the plate-like object may be scratched. Absent. Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the wear progresses so that the groove width of the annular groove increases, the supply of the cooling medium to the processing portion is performed favorably, and the quality and accuracy of the chamfered portion can be improved. .
