Abstract

A backlight panel is provided, which includes a substrate including first and second light-emitting areas, first light-emitting devices arranged in rows and in columns in the first light-emitting area, and second light-emitting devices arranged in rows and in columns in the second light-emitting area. The first light-emitting area overlaps the center of the backlight panel. The second light-emitting area is located on a side of the first light-emitting area. A first coincident boundary is formed between the first and second light-emitting areas, and a second coincident boundary is formed between the second light-emitting area and the backlight panel. In the row direction, the distance between at least one second light-emitting device closest to the second coincident boundary and another adjacent second light-emitting device is less than a distance between any two adjacent first light-emitting devices.
