Abstract

The present invention discloses a backlight module and a display device, wherein the backlight module includes a light guide plate and a lamp bar, the lamp bar includes a flexible printed circuit board and several LED lamps fixed onto the flexible printed circuit board, wherein at least one position avoiding slot is provided in an edge region of the light guide plate, the LED lamps are located inside the position avoiding slot, and the flexible printed circuit board is located above the light guide plate and fixedly attached to a position of the position avoiding slot. The technical solution of the present invention can achieve fixing the lamp bar without providing an assembly module, which can effectively reduce a total weight of a display device, and meanwhile be advantageous to a narrow-bezel design of the display device.

Claims (20)

1. A backlight module, comprising a light guide plate and a lamp bar, the lamp bar comprising a flexible printed circuit board and a plurality of LED lamps fixed onto the flexible printed circuit board, wherein at least one position avoiding slot is provided in an edge region of the light guide plate, the LED lamps are located inside the position avoiding slot, and the flexible printed circuit board is located above the light guide plate and fixedly attached to a position of the position avoiding slot.

2. The backlight module according to claim 1 , further comprising an optical film layer provided above the light guide plate.

3. The backlight module according to claim 2 , wherein a position defining structure is provided at a peripheral position of the optical film layer, and the position defining structure is used for preventing the optical film layer from moving.

4. The backlight module according to claim 3 , wherein all of the position avoiding slot(s) is/are provided at one side of the edge region of the light guide plate, and the position defining structure is provided at other three sides of the edge region of the light guide plate.

5. The backlight module according to claim 3 , wherein the position defining structure and the light guide plate are formed integrally.

6. The backlight module according to claim 2 , further comprising a shading tape covering a side surface of the light guide plate.

7. The backlight module according to claim 6 , wherein the shading tape also covers an edge region of the optical film layer.

8. The backlight module according to claim 1 , further comprising a reflector sheet, wherein the reflector sheet is provided beneath the light guide plate, and a reflector sheet fixing glue is provided between the reflector sheet and the light guide plate.

9. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the position avoiding slots is equal to the number of the LED lamps, and each of the LED lamps is disposed in a position avoiding slot at a corresponding position.

10. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein a circuit board fixing glue is provided between the flexible printed circuit board and the light guide plate.

11. A display device, comprising a backlight module, the backlight module comprising a light guide plate and a lamp bar, the lamp bar comprising a flexible printed circuit board and a plurality of LED lamps fixed onto the flexible printed circuit board, wherein at least one position avoiding slot is provided in an edge region of the light guide plate, the LED lamps are located inside the position avoiding slot, and the flexible printed circuit board is located above the light guide plate and fixedly attached to a position of the position avoiding slot.

12. The display device according to claim 11 , further comprising an optical film layer provided above the light guide plate.

13. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein a position defining structure is provided at a peripheral position of the optical film layer, and the position defining structure is used for preventing the optical film layer from moving.

14. The display device according to claim 13 , wherein all of the position avoiding slot(s) is/are provided at one side of the edge region of the light guide plate, and the position defining structure is provided at other three sides of the edge region of the light guide plate.
