GLASS SUBSTRATE FOR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND DISPLAY PANEL EMPLOYING THE SAME

The present invention provides a glass substrate for flat panel display in which yellowing occurring in a case of forming silver electrodes on glass substrate surface is inhibited. A glass substrate for flat panel display, which is formed by a float method, which has a composition consisting essentially of, in terms of oxide amount in mass %: SiO2 50 to 72%, Al2O3 0.15 to 15%, MgO + CaO + SrO + BaO 4 to 30%, Na2O more than 0% and at most 10%, K2O 1 to 21%, Li2O 0 to 1%, Na2O + K2O + Li2O 6 to 25%, ZrO2 0 to 10%, and Fe2O3 0.0725 to 0.15%; and wherein the average Fe2+ content in a surface layer of the glass substrate within a depth of 10 mum from the top surface is at most 0.0725% in terms of Fe2O3 amount.
