Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A liquid-crystal polyester resin composition according to the present invention contains 100 parts by mass of a liquid-crystal polyester (A), 50 to 150 parts by mass of a titanium oxide (B) having been subjected to an aluminum oxide treatment, a silicon oxide treatment and an organosiloxane treatment as surface treatments, and 0 to 50 parts by mass of an inorganic fibrous filler (C).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A liquid-crystal polyester resin composition, comprising: 100 parts by mass of a liquid-crystal polyester (A) that is a wholly aromatic thermotropic liquid-crystal polyester having a melting point of 320° C. or higher; 50 to 150 parts by mass of a titanium oxide (B) having been subjected to only an aluminum oxide treatment, a silicon oxide treatment and an organosiloxane treatment as surface treatments; and 0 to 50 parts by mass of an inorganic fibrous filler (C), wherein a molded object obtained by injection molding the liquid-crystal polyester resin composition has a reflectance of 85% or higher to light of a wavelength of 480 nm on a molded surface thereof, and an Izod impact strength of the molded object of 40 kJ/m 2 or higher. 2. The liquid-crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the titanium oxide (B) has a primary particle diameter in the range of 0.2 to 0.3 μm. 3. A molded object, being obtained by injection molding a liquid-crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 1 . 4. An optical device, comprising: a light source; and a reflector of the light source, the reflector comprising a molded object according to claim 3 . 5. The optical device according to claim 4 , wherein the light source is a white LED. 6. A liquid-crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the aluminum oxide treatment, the silicon oxide treatment, and the organosiloxane treatment is applied directly on a surface of the titanium dioxide (B).
