A wholly aromatic polyester being excellent in heat resistance and toughness and being capable of being produced in an ordinary polymerization device, which exhibits optical anisotropy when it is molten, containing the constitutional unit (I) derived from 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, the constitutional unit (II) derived from 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, the constitutional unit (III) derived from 1,4-phenylenedicarboxylic acid, the constitutional unit (IV) derived from 1,3-phenylenedicarboxylic acid and the constitutional unit (V) derived from 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl, containing the constitutional unit (I) in an amount of 35 to 75 mol %, the constitutional unit (II) in an amount of 2 to 8 mol %, the constitutional unit (III) in an amount of 4.5 to 30.5 mol %, the constitutional unit (IV) in an amount of 2 to 8 mol %, the constitutional unit (V) in an amount of 12.5 to 32.5 mol %, the total of constitutional units (II) and (IV) being in an amount of 4 to 10 mol %.
A wholly aromatic polyester, which exhibits optical anisotropy when it is molten, comprising, as essential constituents, the constitutional units represented by the following formulae (I), (II), (Ill), (IV) and (V), containing, relative to a total of all constitutional units, the constitutional unit (I) in an amount of 35 to 75 mol %, the constitutional unit (II) in an amount of 2 to 8 mol %, the constitutional unit (III) in an amount of 4.5 to 30.5 mol %, the constitutional unit (IV) in an amount of 2 to 8 mol %, the constitutional unit (V) in an amount of 12.5 to 32.5 mol %, the total of constitutional units (II) and (IV) being in an amount of 4 to 10 mol %;
