1. A backlight module comprising:
- a frame; and
a light guide plate received in the frame, the light guide plate comprising a top light emitting surface;
the frame and an end of the light guide plate cooperatively defining a gap therebetween;
wherein the gap has a narrowed exit adjacent to the light emitting surface, whereby light beams are prevented from either or both of leaking out from the end of the light guide plate and leaking out from the gap via the narrowed exit.

Abstract
An exemplary backlight module (4) includes a frame (44) and a light guide plate (40) received in the frame. The light guide plate has a top light emitting surface (404). The frame and an end (408) of the light guide plate cooperatively define a gap (46) therebetween. The gap has a narrowed exit (462) adjacent to the light emitting surface, whereby light beams are prevented from either or both of leaking out from the end of the light guide plate and leaking out from the gap via the narrowed exit.

16. A liquid crystal display comprising:
-
a liquid crystal panel; and
a backlight module positioned adjacent to the liquid crystal panel, the backlight module comprising;
a frame; and
a light guide plate received in the frame, the light guide plate comprising a top light emitting surface;
the frame and an end of the light guide plate cooperatively defining a gap therebetween;
wherein the gap has a narrowed exit adjacent to the light emitting surface, whereby light beams are prevented from either or both of leaking out from the end of the light guide plate and leaking out from the gap to the liquid crystal panel via the narrowed exit.
