Abstract
An exemplary backlight module (12) includes a light guide plate (14) and a frame (16) receiving the light guide plate. The frame includes a first side wall (160), and a second side wall (167) connected with the first side wall. The frame further defines a first sliding guide (165). The first side wall defines an opening (163) therein. The opening is configured for allowing the light guide plate to be inserted into the frame therethrough. The first sliding guide is defined at an inner side of a portion of the frame that is adjacent to the second side wall, and supports one side of the light guide plate. The first sliding guide communicates with the opening, and is configured for allowing the light guide plate to slide into the frame.
