[Problem] To provide a liquid-
crystal polyester resin which has a low
permittivity and a low
dielectric loss tangent and which can have improved practical
heat resistance and can be inhibited from
outgassing or forming foreign matters or the like. [Solution] A liquid-
crystal polyester resin according to the present invention contains constituent units derived from hydroxycarboxylic acids in an amount of 90 mol% or larger with respect to all the constituent units, and is characterized in that: the constituent units derived from hydroxycarboxylic acids comprise a constituent unit (A) derived from p-
hydroxybenzoic acid, a constituent unit (B) derived from 6-hydroxy-2-
naphthoic acid, and a constituent unit (C) derived from a hydroxycarboxylic acid which is neither the constituent unit (A) nor the constituent unit (B), the constituent unit (C) being a constituent unit derived from at least one acid selected from the group consisting of m-
hydroxybenzoic acid, 6-hydroxynicotinic acid, and 4'-hydroxy-4-biphenylcarboxylic acid; the liquid-
crystal polyester resin further contains a constituent unit (D) derived from a
dicarboxylic acid and / or a constituent unit (E) derived from a
diol; the proportions (mol%) of the constituent units (A) to (E) satisfy the requirements shown by the following formulae 10 mol%≤[constituent unit (A)]≤30 mol%, 60 mol%≤[constituent unit (B)]≤80 mol%, 0.1 mol%≤[constituent unit (C)]≤10 mol%, and 0.1 mol%≤[(constituent unit (D))+(constituent unit (E))]≤2.0 mol%; and the liquid-crystal
polyester resin has a
melt viscosity, as measured under the conditions of 350°C and a
shear rate of 1,000 / s, of 25 Pa·s or greater.
