Abstract: To provide a method for tempering glass to obtain tempered glass having high surface quality and a deep compression stress layer. The present invention relates to a method for tempering a glass plate comprising a preparation step of preparing a glass plate having a surface temperature of at most the strain point, an internal heating step of heating the internal temperature of the glass plate to be at least the annealing point, while maintaining the surface temperature of the glass plate within 10 minutes, or to be at most the strain point, and a cooling step of cooling the glass plate.

Abstract: A glass plate processing method for dividing a glass plate by a separation line that divides a main surface of the glass plate into two regions, includes: moving an irradiation point of a first laser beam along the separation line, and forming a crack extending from the separation line diagonally with respect to the main surface, in a cross-section orthogonal to the separation line; after the crack is formed, moving an irradiation point of a second laser beam along the separation line, and forming a modified portion, in the cross-section, on a virtual line extending in a direction perpendicular to the main surface, from a tip of the crack towards a center of a thickness of the glass plate; and after the modified portion is formed, applying stress to the glass plate and forming a new crack spanning from the tip of the crack to the modified portion.

Abstract: A method for producing a glass substrate that has a desired shape and is obtained from a glass plate, the method includes: emitting a first laser beam to the glass plate to form a scribe line over an entire thickness of the glass plate, the scribe line defining a contour line of the glass substrate having the desired shape; and performing a fusion-cutting at a position away from the scribe line on a side opposite to the desired shape and removing an unnecessary region of the glass plate along the scribe line to obtain the glass substrate having the desired shape along the contour line.

Abstract: A large plate includes a first main surface and a second main surface, and is separated into a first small plate and a second small plate at a separation surface. The separation surface intersects with the first main surface and the second main surface at a first intersection line and a second intersection line, respectively. The first intersection line and the second intersection line include a curved portion. The first intersection line is disposed on one side of the second intersection line in a planar view. In a cross-section perpendicular to the first intersection line, the separation surface is inclined with respect to a normal to the first main surface. (1) Form a modified portion on the separation surface to be separated. (2) Form a crack on the separation surface. (3) Separate the first and second small plate.
