Abstract

A transparent, colorless lithium-aluminosilicate glass ceramic plate with high-quartz mixed crystals as the prevailing crystal phase, which is provided on one side with an opaque, colored, temperature-stable coating over the entire surface or over the entire surface to a large extent, is described, which has a content of Nd 2 O 3 of 40 to 4000 ppm, a Yellowness Index of less than 10% with a 4 mm glass (ceramic) layer thickness, and a variegation of colors of the glass or the glass ceramic in the CIELAB color system of C* of less than 5. The glass ceramic plate preferably has a composition (in % by weight based on oxide) of: Li 2 O 3.0-4.5, Na 2 O 0-1.5, K 2 O 0-1.5, ΣNa 2 O+K 2 O 0.2-2.0, MgO 0-2.0, CaO 0-1.5, SrO 0-1.5, BaO 0-2.5, ZnO 0-2.5, B 2 O 3 0-1.0, Al 2 O 3 19-25, SiO 2 55-69, TiO 2 1-3, ZrO 2 1-2.5, SnO 2 0-0.4, ΣSnO 2 +TiO 2 <3, P 2 O 5 0-3.0, Nd 2 O 3 0.01-0.4, CoO 0.0-0.004
