## Abstract

The present invention provides a backlight module. The backlight module includes a plastic frame, a backlight source and a light guide plate. The backlight source and the light guide plate are received in the plastic frame. The light guide plate includes a light incident surface and a light emitting surface. The backlight source includes a circuit board, a reflecting collimator lens fixed to the circuit board and a LED lamp disposed inside the reflecting collimator lens. The reflecting collimator lens includes a parabolic reflecting surface, and the LED lamp is located at a center location of the parabolic reflecting surface. The light incident surface is covered with a color polarizing layer, and the parabolic reflecting surface faces toward the color polarizing layer. The present invention also discloses a display device.
