The connecting portion has a first end and a second end. The first end is connected to a middle region of a bottom side of the light source carrying portion. The second end is connected to the bottom edge. The connecting portion is bent, such that the light source carrying portion is disposed on the top side of the frame and the light source is positioned at a side of the light guide plate.
