A method for fabricating a backlight source includes determining an n-step MacAdam ellipse in a uniform chromaticity diagram, where n is an integer smaller than or equal to 3; and fabricating the backlight source according to chromaticity coordinates within the n-step MacAdam ellipse to cause chromaticity coordinates of light emitted from different ones of light-emitting diodes of the backlight source to be within the n-step MacAdam ellipse.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for fabricating a backlight source, comprising: determining an n-step MacAdam ellipse in a uniform chromaticity diagram, n being an integer smaller than or equal to 3; and fabricating the backlight source according to chromaticity coordinates within the n-step MacAdam ellipse to cause chromaticity coordinates of light emitted from different light-emitting diodes of the backlight source to be within the n-step MacAdam ellipse, wherein determining the n-step MacAdam ellipse includes: determining a target color temperature of a display device including the backlight source; determining an intersection of an isothermal line segment of the target color temperature and a Planckian locus in the uniform chromaticity diagram; and determining the n-step MacAdam ellipse according to the isothermal line segment and the intersection, the intersection being within the n-step MacAdam ellipse, and two endpoints of the isothermal line segment being on the n-step MacAdam ellipse, and wherein determining the n-step MacAdam ellipse according to the isothermal line segment and the intersection includes: determining at least one initial ellipse according to the isothermal line segment and the intersection, each of the at least one initial ellipse having the intersection as a center point, and the two endpoints of the isothermal line segment being on each of the at least one initial ellipse; matching the at least one initial ellipse with an m-step MacAdam ellipse in the uniform chromaticity diagram to determine, from the at least one initial ellipse, a largest initial ellipse containing the m-step MacAdam ellipse, wherein n≤m≤7; determining a chromaticity-region quadrilateral according to the largest initial ellipse, the two endpoints of the isothermal line segment forming a first vertex and a second vertex of the chromaticity-region quadrilateral, respectively, a point on the largest initial ellipse corresponding to a minimum abscissa of the largest initial ellipse in the uniform chromaticity diagram forming a third vertex of the chromaticity-region quadrilateral, and a point on the largest initial ellipse corresponding to a maximum abscissa of the largest initial ellipse in the uniform chromaticity diagram forming a fourth vertex of the chromaticity-region quadrilateral; and determining the n-step MacAdam ellipse in the chromaticity-region quadrilateral. 2. A display device, comprising a backlight source and a display panel, the backlight source being fabricated by the method according to claim 1 . 3. A display system, comprising a plurality of display devices according to claim 2 . 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein: the light-emitting diodes include at least two light-emitting diodes that emit white light of different wavelengths, and the at least two light-emitting diodes have different red light components, different green light components, and different blue light components in the emitted white light. 5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein: each two neighboring light-emitting diodes of the at least two light-emitting diodes emit white light of different wavelengths. 6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein: among a plurality of chromaticity coordinates of white light emitted from the light-emitting diodes in the uniform chromaticity diagram, a number of chromaticity coordinates located on one side of the Planckian locus near to a lateral axis of the uniform chromaticity diagram is larger than a number of chromaticity coordinates located on another side of the Planckian locus farther away from the lateral axis of the uniform chromaticity diagram. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein: n is equal to 3, and the n-step MacAdam ellipse has a span less than or equal to approximately 0.01 in a lateral-axis direction of the uniform chromaticity diagram, and has a span less than or equal to approximately 0.00978 in a vertical-axis direction of the uniform chromaticity diagram.
