Backlight module and display apparatus

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a backlight module and a display apparatus. The backlight module includes: a substrate configured to fix a plurality of light sources; the plurality of light sources fixed on the substrate and connected electrically to each other; and a light guide plate having at least one side on which a recess portion for receiving the plurality of light sources or receiving the plurality of light sources and at least part of the substrate is provided. At least the plurality of light sources are embedded into the recess portion, thus, the light emitted from the plurality of light sources may enter the light guide plate completely for utilization. Not only the brightness of the backlight module may be improved, but also the energy waste due to the part of the light of the plurality of light sources failing to enter the light guide plate may be avoided. And, at least the plurality of light sources being embedded into the recess portion may also reduce the width of non-light emitting region on a light incidence side of the backlight module, so as to reduce the width of the frame of the backlight module and to increase an effective light emitting area of the backlight module.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
