18. No significant shifting of the maximum wavelength of the fluorescence spectra was observed as the excitation wavelength varied. These results apparently indicate that the spectral distributions of the fluorescence mostly depend on the relative contribution of the monomer and excimer emissions of 5CB. The participation of possible preformed aggregates which would absorb and emit should be negligible even in such condensed media in this work.

20. 3 Presumably, possible optical effects on the fluorescence are spatially randomized and canceled to be negligible in spectral distributions of the fluorescence for the PDLC films.
21. It was confirmed that the photopolymerized films prepared from the diacrylate and Irgacure 184 in the absence of 5CB show little fluorescence upon excitation at 275-320 nm. It is therefore indicated that Irgacure 184 and its benzoyl fragments virtually exerted no effect on the observed fluorescence spectra of the PDLC films. This is in line with the well-known fact that aromatic ketones generally reveal no or only negligibly weak fluorescence from the excited-singlet n,π* state.
