A glass ribbon includes a first major surface extending along a first plane. The glass ribbon includes a second major surface extending along a second plane substantially parallel to the first plane. A first thickness is defined between the first major surface and the second major surface along a thickness direction perpendicular to the first major surface. The first thickness is within a range from about 25 m to about 125 m. An edge surface extends between the first plane and the second plane. The edge surface comprises a height in the thickness direction that is less than the first thickness. Methods of manufacturing a glass ribbon are also provided.

There is demand for a method and a device that can increase types of functional layers that can be formed on a glass plate by expanding the scope of applicable raw materials. A method for manufacturing a glass plate including a functional layer in which the functional layer is formed on a first main surface of the glass plate including the first main surface and a second main surface, the method including: a preparation step (#21) of preparing the glass plate; a conveying step (#22) of conveying a mist substance for forming the functional layer to a position facing the first main surface with use of a carrier gas; a supplying step (#24) of supplying the mist substance from the position facing the first main surface toward the first main surface; and a functional layer forming step (#25) of forming the functional layer on the first main surface.
