Abstract

A back light module includes a bezel, a light source assembly and a first circuit board. The bezel has a carrier surface, a first back surface opposite to the first back surface, and a through hole passing through the bezel from the carrier surface to the first back surface. The light source assembly is disposed on the carrier surface, and the first circuit board is disposed on the first back surface. The light source assembly includes a second circuit board and a plurality of light emitting elements. The second circuit board is electrically connected to the first circuit board by its conductive pin set via the through hole. Since the light source assembly is electrically connected to the first circuit board by the conductive pin set, the assembly process is simplified and the cost is decreased. A display device using the back light module is also provided.
