Abstract

An exemplary liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight module. The backlight module includes a driving circuit and a light emitting diode array. The driving circuit includes a first terminal, and the light emitting diode array includes a plurality of red, green, and blue light emitting diodes connected in series. A number of the red light emitting diodes is “a”, and a number of the green light emitting diodes is “b”. Further, a number of the blue light emitting diodes is “c”. Numbers of “a”, “b”, and “c” are determined according to a predetermined color coordinate of the liquid crystal panel. The driving circuit drives the red, green, and blue light emitting diodes via the first terminal, to enable the red, green, and blue light emitting diodes to emit light beams for illuminating the liquid crystal display panel.
