Abstract
A backlight module includes a light-shielding sheet, a light guide plate under the light-shielding sheet, a reflective sheet under the light guide plate, a main circuit board under the reflective sheet, a light-emitting unit on the main circuit board, a flexible circuit board under the reflective sheet, and an electrical connector electrically connected to the flexible circuit board and the main circuit board. A protrusion of the reflective sheet protrudes into a through hole of the light guide plate. The light-emitting unit passes through an opening of the reflective sheet to be accommodated in a slot hole of the light guide plate. The light-emitting unit is configured to emit light to reach a light exit area of the light-shielding sheet through the light guide plate. The electrical connector is aligned with the through hole or further protrudes into the through hole.
