To provide an alkali free glass which is suitable as a glass substrate for
LCD and has few defects of bubbles and an undissolved starting material,
and a process for producing an alkali free glass which can readily lower
the defects in bubbles and an undissolved starting material.An alkali
free glass with a matrix composition comprising SiO.sub.2,
Al.sub.2O.sub.3, B.sub.2O.sub.3, MgO, CaO, SrO and BaO and containing
substantially no alkali metal oxide, of which the temperature at which
the viscosity becomes 10.sup.2 dPas, is at most 1,600.degree. C. and
which contains sulfur in an amount of from 0.001 to 0.1% as calculated as
SO.sub.3, as represented by the mass percentage, per 100% of the total
amount of the above matrix composition, and a process for producing a
glass which comprises preparing a starting material and melting it so
that a sulfate be incorporated to the starting material in an amount of
from 0.01 to 5% as calculated as SO.sub.3, as represented by the mass
percentage, per 100% of the total amount of the above matrix composition.
