Abstract

This invention relates to a backlight module and a liquid crystal display where the backlight module comprises a light guide plate, a substrate, a light source, a reflective element and a reflective sheet. The light guide plate and the reflective sheet are joined by a double coated film that is set up along the edge of a lower surface of the light guide plate. A light exit plane of the light source is placed in between the lower surface of the light guide plate and a light exit plane of the light guide plate. By means of altering the setup of the light guide plate and the reflective sheet, this invention settles the technical issue of mura appeared at the corresponding display panel.
