A light guiding device to compensate insufficient lighting in a light guide plate's corner areas is provided. The light guiding device is positioned on the inner side of the lamp reflector neighboring to the electrodes at the ends of the lamp. The light guiding device has a reflection surface which reflects and directs lights toward the dim corner areas of the light guide plate, compensating the lighting and thereby reducing these dim areas.
