<p>A glass-plate manufacturing method employing a down-draw process includes: a forming step of forming a sheet glass by making a molten glass flow downward along opposite side surfaces of a forming member and merge at a lower section of the forming member; and a cooling step of cooling the sheet glass while drawing the sheet glass downward with rollers. In the cooling step, an above-glass-strain-point temperature control step is performed which is a step of performing a temperature control in the width direction of the sheet glass in a temperature region ranging from the lower section of the forming member to where the temperature of the sheet glass falls below a temperature region near the glass strain point, and includes: first, second and third temperature control steps as defined herein.</p> |
