Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cover glass.
  • a glass substrate surface is subjected to an antiglare treatment (AG treatment).
  • AG treatment antiglare treatment
  • a glass substrate surface is subjected to a chemical or physical surface treatment to form irregularities and this surface is then etched with, for example, hydrofluoric acid in order to arrange the surface shape (Patent Document 1).
  • the present inventors have found that the above problem(s) could be solved by the cover glass having no leach-out layer. That is, the present invention relates to the following cover glass.
  • cover glass according to any one of [1] to [8], further comprising an antifouling film disposed on the antireflection film, wherein a contact angle of water on a surface of the cover glass on the side where the antifouling film is present is 90° or larger.
  • FIG. 1A to FIG. 1D are a flowchart which shows steps of one embodiment of the production process in the present invention.
  • the cover glass of the present invention includes: a glass substrate having a convex and concave shape formed on at least one of surfaces thereof by an antiglare treatment; and an antireflection film disposed on the surface of the glass substrate, the surface having the convex and concave shape, and in the cover glass, a difference ⁇ a* in a* value between any two points within a surface of the glass on the side where the antireflection film is present and a difference ⁇ b* in b* value between any two points within the surface of the glass on the side where the antireflection film is present satisfy the following expression (1).
  • the ⁇ a* and the ⁇ b* should be determined by selecting any square portion of 10 cm 2 as a measuring range from the glass substrate, dividing the measuring range into 11 x 11 equal portions, examining all 100 intersections of equally dividing lines for a* values and b* values, determining a maximum value a* max of the a* values, a minimum value a* min of the a* values, a maximum value b* max of the b* values, and a minimum value b* min of the b* values, from the a* values and b* values, and taking the difference (a* max ⁇ a* min ) between the a* max and the a* min as the ⁇ a* and the difference (b* max ⁇ b* min ) between the b* max and the b* min as the ⁇ b*.
  • the glass composition of the extremely thin surface region can be determined, for example, by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
  • the glass composition of the bulk part can be determined, for example, by XPS, X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), etc.
  • the thickness of the ion-exchange layer before the removal, i.e., the leach-out layer, as measured from the outermost surface of the glass substrate is preferably 10 nm or less, more preferably 8 nm or less, even more preferably 6 nm or less. It is also preferable that the thickness of the ion-exchange layer before the removal, i.e., the leach-out layer, should be larger than 1 nm. So long as the thickness of the leach-out layer before the removal is 10 nm or less, not only this leach-out layer can be efficiently removed, but also a suitable antiglare effect and even reflection properties can be finally obtained. So long as the thickness of the leach-out layer before the removal is larger than 1 nm, the minimum necessary antiglare effect and even reflection properties can be obtained. Such leach-out layer thicknesses are hence preferred.
  • any of glasses having various compositions can be utilized.
  • composition of the glass in the present invention is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include the following glass compositions.
  • the thickness of the glass is not particularly limited. However, in the case of performing a chemical strengthening treatment, the thickness of the glass is usually preferably 5 mm or less, more preferably 3 mm or less, from the standpoint of effectively conducting the treatment.
  • sand blasting in which a crystalline silicon dioxide powder, silicon carbide powder, or the like is blown against the surface of the glass substrate by compressed air or grinding with a brush equipped with bristles which have a crystalline silicon dioxide powder, silicon carbide powder, or the like adhered thereto and which have been moistened with water.
  • Examples of preferred methods for the etching include a method of immersing the glass substrate, as an object to be treated, in a solution which includes hydrogen fluoride as a main component.
  • This solution may contain an acid such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, or citric acid as a component other than hydrogen fluoride. Due to the inclusion of the acid, cationic components contained in the glass can be inhibited from reacting with the hydrogen fluoride and thereby locally causing a precipitation reaction, and the etching can hence be allowed to proceed evenly throughout the surface.
  • the cover glass of the present invention has an antireflection film disposed on the antiglare-treated surface of the glass substrate by performing an antireflection film treatment (referred to also as “AR treatment”).
  • AR treatment an antireflection film treatment
  • the cover glass of the present invention should have a luminous reflectance of 2% or less. So long as the luminous reflectance thereof is within that range, reflection in the cover glass surface can be sufficiently prevented.
  • the luminous reflectance is provided for in JIS Z8701. As the illuminant, illuminant D65 was used.
  • the printing treatment should be conducted between the antiglare treatment as step 1 and the antireflection film formation as step 4 and after the leach-out layer removal as step 3, in order to prevent the printed portion from being affected by the etching or other treatment for the leach-out layer removal.
  • This treatment for removing the leach-out layer does not result in elimination of the irregularities formed by the antiglare treatment.
  • An antireflection film 20 is further formed on the glass main surface 10 a from which the leach-out layer has been removed ( FIG. 1D ).
  • the leach-out described above also occurs simultaneously.
  • a relationship with etching rate is hence important. Specifically, it is preferred to use concentration and temperature conditions under which the etching rate is at least 1.5 times the rate of leach-out layer formation.
  • the etching rate is more preferably at least 2 times, even more preferably at least 2.5 times, the rate of leach-out layer formation.
  • Examples of methods for grinding with an abrasive material include a method in which a grinding fluid containing an abrasive material selected from calcium carbonate, cerium oxide, colloidal silica, and the like is used to grind the surface of the glass substrate.
  • the kind of the inert gas in the chamber is not particularly limited, and any of various inert gases including argon and helium can be used.
  • fluorine-containing organosilicon compounds are stored in the form of a mixture with a solvent, such as a fluorochemical solvent, for the purpose of, for example, inhibiting the deterioration due to reaction with atmospheric moisture.
  • a solvent such as a fluorochemical solvent
  • this organosilicon compound may adversely affect the durability and other properties of the thin film obtained therefrom.
  • a fluorine-containing organosilicon compound which has undergone a solvent removal treatment before being heated in a heating vessel or a fluorine-containing organosilicon compound which has not been diluted with a solvent should be used in this embodiment.
  • a fluorine-containing organosilicon compound solution having a solvent concentration of preferably 1 mol % or less, more preferably 0.2 mol % or less. It is especially preferred to use a fluorine-containing organosilicon compound containing no solvent.
  • Examples of the solvents usable for storing the fluorine-containing organosilicon compound include perfluorohexane, m-xylene hexafluoride (C 6 H 4 (CF 3 ) 2 ), hydrofluoropolyethers, and HFE 7200/7100 (trade names; manufactured by Sumitomo 3M Ltd.; HFE 7200 is represented by C 4 F 9 C 2 H 5 and HFE 7100 is represented by C 4 F 9 OCH 3 ).
  • a treatment for removing the solvent from a solution of a fluorine-containing organosilicon compound in a fluorochemical solvent can be accomplished, for example, by evacuating a vessel which contains the solution of a fluorine-containing organosilicon compound.
  • a treatment for removing the solvent can also be conducted after the solution of a fluorine-containing organosilicon compound is introduced into the heating vessel of a deposition device for antifouling film deposition, by evacuating the heating vessel at room temperature before the heating vessel is heated. It is also possible to remove the solvent beforehand with an evaporator or the like before introduction into the heating vessel.
  • the fluorine-containing organosilicon compound should be immediately introduced into the heating vessel of the deposition device for antifouling film deposition. It is preferable that after the introduction, the inside of the heating vessel should be made vacuum or replaced with an inert gas, e.g., nitrogen or a rare gas, thereby removing the atmosphere (air) contained in the heating vessel. It is more preferable that the storage container and the heating vessel of the production device should have been connected to each other by a valved pipeline so that the compound can be introduced from the storage container into the heating vessel without coming into with the air.
