A multilayered insulating film of one member selected from SiO2, a silicon oxynitride, and a silicon nitride is coated on a surface of a glass plate by reactive sputtering using one or more silicon targets in oxygen or/and nitrogen. The interface between layers in the multilayered insulating film functions to trap sodium ions thermally diffusing from the glass, whereby the amount of sodium ions which dissolve in the insulating film and reach the surface thereof is considerably reduced. | |
