The present invention relates to a method capable of easily manufacturing a curved thin glass sheet and a curved joined glass sheet to which functionality is added.

A seamless three-dimensional cover (1) for an electronic device (2), the seamless three-dimensional cover (1) comprising of at least one glass base layer (3) and at least one glass rim layer (4). At least one layer of color inducing film (5) is arranged between at least one of the base layer (3) and the rim layer (4), or between two adjacent rim layers (4). The base layer (3), the rim layer(s) (4), and the layer of color inducing film (5) are fused together to form the seamless three-dimensional cover (1). This facilitates a strong and durable three-dimensional cover, which cover is translucent as well as at least partially colored. Furthermore, the cover does not affect the function of components such as millimeter-wave antennas.

A glass sheet is a single glass sheet having a first surface and a second surface facing the first surface. The glass sheet has a curvature part curved in a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. A radius of curvature in the first direction of the curvature part is 8,500 mm or less. At least a part of the first surface has been chemically strengthened in the curvature part. In the first direction within the chemically strengthened region in the curvature part, an Na amount in the first surface is smaller than the Na amount in the second surface.

A glass plate includes a first surface provided with a first film; and a second surface provided with a second film and opposite to the first surface. Each of the first film and the second film includes mainly tin oxide and has a sheet resistance value of 20 Ω/□ or less. When film thicknesses of the first and second films are θ.sub.1 nm and θ.sub.2 nm respectively, and when, in the glass plate, a haze value measured from the first surface side for a configuration provided with the first film only is H.sub.1 (%), and a haze value measured from the second surface side for a configuration provided with the second film only is H.sub.2 (%), a value of θ.sub.1 divided by H.sub.1 is 500 or more but 1200 or less, and a value of θ.sub.2 divided by H.sub.2 is 300 or more but 750 or less.

Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to techniques for converting sputter-deposited TiNx or TiOxNy layers into TiOx layers via activation with electromagnetic radiation. An intermediate layer including TiOxNy, 0<y≦1 is formed on a substrate. The intermediate layer is exposed to the radiation, which is preferentially absorbed by the intermediate layer in an amount sufficient to heat the intermediate layer to a temperature of 500-650 degrees C. while keeping the substrate at a significantly lower temperature. A flash light operated with a series of millisecond or sub-millisecond length pulses may be used in this regard. The converting removes nitrogen from, and introduces oxygen into, the intermediate layer, causing the layer to expand beyond its initial thickness. At least some of the final layer may have an anatase phase, and it may be photocatalytic. These layers may be used in low-maintenance glass, antireflective, and/or other applications.

The present embodiments provide a transparent electrode having a laminate structure of: a metal oxide layer having an amorphous structure and electroconductivity, and a metal nanowire layer; and further comprising an auxiliary metal wiring. The auxiliary metal wiring covers a part of the metal nanowire layer or of the metal oxide layer, and is connected to the metal nanowire layer.
