Abstract

A low blue light backlight module configured to emit a white light is provided. The low blue light backlight module includes a first light-emitting element, a second light-emitting element, a third light-emitting element and a fourth light-emitting element. The first light-emitting element is configured to emit a first light having a peak emission wavelength of about 610-660 nm. The second light-emitting element is configured to emit a second light having a peak emission wavelength of about 520-550 nm. The third light-emitting element is configured to emit a third light having a peak emission wavelength of about 480-580 nm. The fourth light-emitting element is configured to emit a fourth light having a peak emission wavelength of about 445-470 nm. The white light has an emission spectrum, and an area ratio of the spectrum under wavelength of 415-455 nm to the spectrum under wavelength of 400-500 nm is below 50%.
