Abstract
A light guiding device includes a light input surface, a light output surface extending from a first edge of the light input surface, a connecting surface extending from a second edge of the light input surface, and a reflecting surface interconnecting the output surface and the connecting surface. Relationships of θ<φ, θ<θand L≧(AD)/tan θ are satisfied, where θis a critical angle for total internal reflection, θ is an angle between extensions of the connecting surface and the light output surface, φ is an angle between the reflecting and light output surfaces, (L) is a distance between the second edge and the end edge, and (AD) is a distance between a location of incidence of a light beam on the light input surface and one of the first or second edge.
