GLASS PLATE MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

A glass plate manufacturing method which manufactures a glass plate by holding the glass plate on a glass plate carrier that experiences planetary gear motion between a sun gear and a ring gear of a two-face polishing device, by inserting the glass plate that is held in the glass plate carrier between polishing pads mounted to a top surface plate and a bottom surface plate, and by polishing while supplying a polishing solution containing an abrasive, wherein the mean value (Dp) for deformation of each polishing pad when a polishing load is loaded during polishing is no less than 0.04 mm.
