The spacers are disposed between the substrate and the diffusion sheet. Each spacer includes a bottom surface (211) contacting with the substrate. A groove (2114) is defined in the bottom surface, and a light incident surface (2112) is defined on inner surface of the groove. A pair of wings is disposed on two sides of the bottom surface for supporting the diffusion sheet. Each wing includes an outer side surface and an inner side surface, and a transflective film is formed on the inner side surfaces of the wing. The light sources are respectively disposed in the grooves.
