Abstract:
A sheet-like glass element has a thickness less than or equal to 0.5 mm and an edge with an edge face intersecting opposite glass faces along two edge lines. The edge face has strip-like sections with each one adjoining a respective one of the edge lines. The strip-like sections interface along a boundary line that extends between the edge lines. The strip-like sections have a first section with a width ranging from 2 μm to 8 μm and have a first waviness that is lower than a second waviness of a second strip-like section. The second waviness decreases towards the edge line
