4. The backlight module in claim 1 , wherein the fixing member comprises a first wall and a second wall substantially perpendicularly connected with the first wall, the first wall comprising a second protrusion outwardly extending therefrom.

5. The backlight module in claim 4 , wherein the second side wall of the frame comprises a first notch defined therein, and the bottom plate comprising a second notch defined therein, the first protrusion of one of the side surface of the light guide plate being received in the first notch of the second side wall of the frame, the second protrusion of the first wall of the fixing member being received in the second notch of the bottom plate of the frame.

6. The backlight module in claim 5 , wherein the second wall of the fixing member comprises a third notch defined therein, the first protrusion of the other side surface of the light guide plate being received in the third notch.

7. The backlight module in claim 6 , further comprising a plurality of screws, the screws fixing the fixing member to the frame.

8. The backlight module in claim 1 , further comprising a diffusing film provided adjacent to the light emission surface of the light guide plate, a brightness enhancement film provided adjacent to the diffusion film, and a reflecting film provided adjacent to the bottom surface of the light guide plate.

9. A liquid crystal display comprising:

a liquid crystal panel; and

a backlight module provided adjacent to the liquid crystal panel, the backlight module comprising:

a frame comprising a substantially rectangular bottom plate, and a first, a second, and a third side walls upwardly extending from three edges of the bottom plate, the first side wall being opposite and parallel to the third side wall, a first spacing board inwardly extending from the first side wall, the first spacing board, the first side wall, and the bottom plate cooperatively defining a sliding channel;

a light guide plate accommodated in the first sliding channel of the frame, the light guide plate comprising a light emission surface, a bottom surface opposite to the light emission surface, a light incident surface between the light emission surface and the bottom surface, and two opposite side surfaces between the light emission surface and the bottom surface; and

a fixing member detachably secured to the other edge of the frame, wherein each of the side surfaces of the light guide plate is parallel to the second side wall of the frame, and comprises a first protrusion outwardly extending therefrom.

10. The liquid crystal display in claim 9 , wherein a second spacing board inwardly extends from the third side wall of the frame, the second spacing board, the side wall, and the bottom plate defining a second sliding channel, the first and second sliding channels being symmetrical, the light guide plate being also accommodated in the second channel.

11. The liquid crystal display in claim 9 , wherein the fixing member comprises a first wall and a second wall substantially perpendicularly connected with the first wall, the first wall comprising a second protrusion outwardly extending therefrom.

12. The liquid crystal display in claim 11 , wherein the second side wall of the frame comprises a first notch defined therein, and the bottom plate comprising a second notch defined therein, the first protrusion of one of the side surface of the light guide plate being received in the first notch of the second side wall of the frame, the second protrusion of the first wall of the fixing member being received in the second notch of the bottom plate of the frame.

13. The liquid crystal display in claim 12 , wherein the second wall of the fixing member comprises a third notch defined therein, the first protrusion of the other side surface of the light guide plate being received in the third notch.

14. The liquid crystal display in claim 13 , wherein the backlight module further comprises a plurality of screws, the screws configured to fix the fixing member to the frame.

15. The liquid crystal display in claim 9 , wherein the backlight module further comprises a diffusing film provided adjacent to the light emission surface of the light guide plate, a brightness enhancement film provided adjacent to the diffusion film, a reflecting film provided adjacent to the bottom surface of the light guide plate, and a light source provided adjacent to the light incident surface of the light guide plate.
