Abstract
An LAS-type float glass, which is substantially free of AsOand/or SbOand precipitates a β-quartz solid solution or a β-spodumene solid solution as a main crystal by heat treatment, wherein, when C[mass %] represents the content of SnOat a glass surface, C[mass %] represents the content of SnOat a depth of 0.5 mm from the glass surface, and k [mass %/mm] represents an SnOconcentration gradient defined by k=(C-C)/0.5, the LAS-type crystallized glass satisfies relationships of K≦2 and C≦0.8 with respect to at least one surface thereof.
