Abstract

A backlight module and a display device are provided. The backlight module includes a light guide plate, a frame, a light source assembly, a reflective sheet, an optical film, and a light shielding sheet. The frame is disposed around the light guide plate. The light source assembly is disposed on a side surface of the light guide plate and fixed on the light guide plate and the frame. The reflective sheet is disposed on a bottom surface of the light guide plate. The optical film is disposed on a top surface of the light guide plate. The light shielding sheet is disposed on a surface of the optical film away from the light source assembly.
