- the shape of the frame portion 11c is a quadrangular shape in plan view, and as shown in FIG. 2, the four sides of the glass substrate 11 are connected.
- the configuration of the frame portion 11c is not limited to this example, and may be a configuration in which only two sides parallel to each other among the four sides of the glass substrate 11 may be used.
- a spacer that is a member different from the glass substrate 11 may be used as a configuration of the frame portion 11c.
- the example of the etching process or the machining process has been described as the method for forming the recess 12 or the frame part 11c.
- the concave portion 12 or the frame portion 11c can be formed together with the outer shape of the glass substrate by appropriately setting the shape of the transfer surface of the (direct) press mold as shown in International Publication 2012/132293.
- a glass substrate having a complicated shape can be easily manufactured, and the manufacturing efficiency can be improved.
- the glass substrate can be bent in the thickness direction, and the design of the electronic device can be improved.
