Abstract

A laminated glass includes a first glass plate, a second glass plate, and an interlayer interposed between the first glass plate and the second glass plate. The first glass plate includes a first main surface arranged on a side opposite to the interlayer and a second main surface in contact with the interlayer, while the second glass plate includes a third main surface in contact with the interlayer and a fourth main surface arranged on a side opposite to the interlayer. The laminated glass includes a first region located on the first main surface and a second region which is located on the fourth main surface and at least a part of which overlaps the first region in a plane view. The first region and the second region have a given glass-surface smoothness.

Claims

1. A laminated glass comprising:

a first glass plate; and

a second glass plate bonded to the first glass plate with an interlayer disposed therebetween, the laminated glass comprising;

a first main surface of the first glass plate arranged on a side opposite to the interlayer;

a second main surface of the first glass plate being in contact with the interlayer;

a third main surface of the second glass plate being in contact with the interlayer;

a fourth main surface of the second glass plate arranged on a side opposite to the interlayer;

a first region located on the first main surface; and

a second region which is located on the fourth main surface and at least a part of which overlaps the first region in a plane view,

wherein at least one of the first region and the second region has an arithmetical mean height of roughness profile Ra of 0.5 μ

m or less, a mean length of roughness-profile elements RSm of 40 μ

m or less, an arithmetical mean height of waviness profile Wa of 10 μ

m or less, and a mean length of waviness-profile elements WSm of 60 mm or less, as provided for in JIS B 0601;

2013.

2. The laminated glass according to claim 1, wherein the second main surface and the third main surface are top surfaces and the first main surface and the fourth main surface are bottom surfaces.

3. The laminated glass according to claim 1, comprising:

a non-first region different from the first region located on the first main surface; and

a non-second region different from the second region located on the fourth main surface,

wherein at least one of the non-first region and the non-second region has an arithmetical mean height of roughness profile Ra of larger than 0.5 μ

m, a mean length of roughness-profile elements RSm of larger than 40 μ

m, an arithmetical mean height of waviness profile Wa of larger than 10 μ

m, and a mean length of waviness-profile elements WSm of larger than 60 mm, as provided for in JIS B 0601;

2013.

4. The laminated glass according to claim 2, comprising:

a non-first region different from the first region located on the first main surface; and

a non-second region different from the second region located on the fourth main surface,

wherein at least one of the non-first region and the non-second region has an arithmetical mean height of roughness profile Ra of larger than 0.5 μ

m, a mean length of roughness-profile elements RSm of larger than 40 μ

m, an arithmetical mean height of waviness profile Wa of larger than 10 μ

m, and a mean length of waviness-profile elements WSm of larger than 60 mm, as provided for in JIS B 0601;

2013.
