Abstract
Description
本発明の一態様によれば、簡単且つ高精度に、ガラス板の主面をかたどった表面を備えた台座の製造方法、及び台座が提供される。
用語の定義に関しては、明細書中に適宜説明を加えた。特に説明をしていない用語に関しては、広く一般的に知られている意味で解釈される。
曲面状の主面を有するガラス板に施す形状加工プロセスや、印刷及びコーティングなどの付加加工プロセスは、ガラス板を台座に固定して行う。特に、形状加工プロセスでは、ガラス板に加工負荷が加わるために、ビビリ防止やズレ防止のためにガラス板の主面を密着し固定できる台座が必要であった。
従来においては、台座をガラス基板の設計形状に合わせて作製していた。図1A~図1Cを用いて、従来例のガラス基板の製造方法の課題について説明する。
本発明の一実施形態によるガラス基板の製造方法の概要について説明する。図2Aは、主面4a、4bが複数の曲率半径を有する曲面で成形されたガラス板4を模式図的に示した断面図である。各主面4a、4bの形状は、平面視にて、例えば、矩形状である。なお、主面4a、4bの形状は、平面視にて、台形状、円形状、又は楕円形状などであってもよく、特に限定されない。
本実施形態における「ガラス板4の主面4bそのものの曲面形状」及び「当該主面と実質的に同じ形状」とは、ガラス板4の主面4aと台座5の表面5aとの形状誤差が1.0mm以下である曲面形状のことを指す。このため、ガラス板4と台座5との間の隙間を1.0mm以下にでき、ガラス板4を台座5に固定した際に、ガラス板4に発生する内部応力を低減できる。形状誤差は、好ましくは0.5mm以下、さらに好ましくは0.3mm以下である。
なお、「形状誤差」とは、ガラス板4を台座5の表面5aに配置する際に、ガラス板4の台座5と対向する主面4bと台座5の表面5aとの間に生じる間隔の最大値を指す。
次に、図3Bに示すように、切断されたガラス板4の端面4cを、例えば、ボール砥石8を用いて面取加工する。
以上の工程を経ることで、所定の形状に加工されたガラス基板を製造できる。
ガラス板4の主面4aにカッター切断、及びレーザー切断を施した際の、切断可能な内部応力試験を行った。
上記した実験により得られた加工可能な内部応力の上限値を、以下の表1にまとめた。
本実施形態では、図2Cに示すように、複数の曲率半径を有する曲面を有する主面4a、4bを有するガラス板4の少なくとも一部を、前記主面4bに沿った曲面形状を有する台座5の表面5aに固定した際、ガラス板4に発生する内部応力は、10MPa以下である。そして、ガラス板4を台座5の表面5aに固定した状態で、所定の加工を施す。ここで、「所定の加工」には、レーザー切断を選択できる。すなわち、ガラス板4にレーザー切断を施すとき、ガラス板4に発生する内部応力を10MPa以下に調整することで、形状加工中に発生するマイクロクラックの進展やチッピング等の欠陥発生を抑制できる。なお、内部応力は、例えば、デジタル画像相関法を用いて測定可能である。
本実施形態では、ガラス板は、複数の曲率半径を有する曲面を有する主面を備え、台座の表面の少なくとも一部は、前記主面そのものの曲面形状を有する。台座の表面の全体を、該主面そのものの曲面形状にかたどることがより好ましい。台座の表面を、ガラス板の主面形状にかたどる方法は、例えば、以下の方法を例に挙げることができる。
図6A及び図6Bを用いて説明される方法により製造された台座5の材質を限定するものではないが、例えば、熱可塑性樹脂などを提示できる。
図6A、図6B、及び、図7A~図7Cを用いて説明される方法により製造された台座5は、成形されたガラス板4の主面4a、4bそのものの曲面形状を有する表面5aを有している。したがって、図2Cに示すように、ガラス板4を台座5の表面5aに設置した際に、ガラス板4の主面4bと台座5の表面5aとの間に隙間が生じず、或いは、隙間を極力小さくできる。このため、ガラス板4を台座5に固定した際、ガラス板4に生じる内部応力を10MPa以下に抑えることができ、好ましくは、2MPa以下に抑えることができる。
図8は、本実施形態のガラス基板20の斜視図である。図9Aは、図8に示すガラス基板20の平面図であり、図9Bは、ガラス基板20の正面図であり、図9Cは、ガラス基板20の側面図である。図10は、ガラス基板20の端面付近を示す部分拡大断面図である。
図8、図9A、図9Bに示すように、相対向する各主面20a、20bの間は、端面20cにより接続されている。
ここで、平面方向にて直交する2方向をX方向、及びY方向とし、X方向及びY方向に直交する高さ方向をZ方向とする。
限定するものではないが、図8及び図9Aに示すように、ガラス基板20は、Y方向よりもX方向に長く延出する長尺形状であることが好ましい。
表面粗さの最大高さSzは、JIS B 0601:2001に準拠して測定した値である。表面粗さの最大高さSzの測定に、例えば、レーザー顕微鏡(オリンパス株式会社製:LEXT OLS5000)を使用することができる。本実施形態では、面取面23の最大高さSzを、コバ面22の最大高さSzより小さくできる。コバ面22は、レーザー光Lによる切断面であるため、最大高さSzを10μm以下、好ましくは8μm以下、より好ましくは7μm以下にできる。例えば、コバ面22の最大高さSzを6~8μm程度にできる。本実施形態では、ボール砥石8の研磨面である面取面23においても最大高さSzを5μm以下にできる。
一方、図11Aは、従来のガラス基板の端面30の部分拡大断面図であり、図11Bは、端面30の面取り加工を説明するための斜視図である。
本実施形態の台座5は、ガラス板4を固定するための台座5であり、台座5の表面5aの少なくとも一部が、ガラス板4の複数の曲率半径を有する曲面を有する主面そのものの曲面形状を有する。例えば、図6A、図6Bや図7A~図7Cを用いて説明した製造方法により台座5を製造できる。これらの製造方法で形成された台座5は、その表面5aの少なくとも一部が、ガラス板4の主面4bそのものの形状を有する。なお、表面5a全体が、ガラス板4の主面4bそのものの形状で形成されることが好ましい。これにより、図2Cに示すように、台座5の表面5aに、ガラス板4を固定した際に、ガラス板4と台座5を適切に密着できる。したがって、本実施形態では、ガラス板4の固定の際に、ガラス板4に生じる内部応力を効果的に小さくでき、具体的には、ガラス板4に生じる内部応力を10MPa以下、好ましくは、2MPa以下に抑えることができる。よって、ガラス板4を台座5に固定した状態で、ガラス板4の主面4a、4bに所定の加工を施した際、形状加工時に生じるマイクロクラックの進展やチッピング等の欠陥発生を効果的に抑制できる。
下記に、上記の実施形態における特徴点を整理する。
また、本実施形態のガラス基板の製造方法では、ガラス板4に、アルカリガラスを用いることができる。
