Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal polyester resin having low-temperature processability and improved mechanical properties. The present invention relates to a liquid crystal polyester resin comprising specific repeating units and having a crystal melting temperature of less than 210° C. as measured with a differential scanning calorimeter.

Abstract: A resin does not need to incorporate a fluorescent substance and exhibits fluorescence itself. Also, a liquid crystal polymer is provided which does not contain a bleeding out substance such as hydrophobic silica and barium sulfate and which has an effect of suppressing fibrillation in the resin itself. A liquid crystal polymer includes a copolymer of a polymerizable monomer (A) selected from the group consisting of pyromellitic acid or anhydride thereof and a reactive derivative thereof and a polymerizable monomer (B).
