Abstract
The present invention relates to an LED backlight module, which includes an LGP, an LED light bar, a backplane, and a heat sink. The LED light bar is mounted on the heat sink at a location close to a light incidence side of the LGP. The heat sink forms upward-extending LGP positioning columns that are fixed with respect thereto. The LGP positioning columns extend upward and through the LGP so as to fix the LGP with respect to the heat sink. The heat sink is arranged on the backplane in a manner of being movable in a light incidence direction. The heat sink is movable with expansion or contraction of the LGP so as to maintain light coupling distance between the LGP and the LED light bar. The LED backlight module prevents the LGP from waving resulting from heat or mechanical interference.
