Abstract
A method of cleaving and separating a glass sheet includes a cleaving step of cleaving a glass sheet along preset cleaving lines by a laser cleaving method, and a separation step of separating adjacent pieces of the cleaved glass sheet from each other. The cleaving step is performed under a state in which the glass sheet is placed on support members provided respectively in segment regions, which are segmented by the preset cleaving lines. The separation step is performed by separating the support members from each other in adjacent segment regions.
