the backlight module comprises a display area and a bezel area located at a periphery of the display area;
the light guide plate comprises a main body portion and a first limiting portion, the first limiting portion being arranged on a side, facing the optical film layer, of the main body portion, at least part of the first limiting portion being located in the bezel area, and the first limiting portion being configured to limit a position of the optical film layer; and
an orthographic projection of the first limiting portion on the bottom plate is at least partially located outside a side edge of the bottom plate, wherein
the side plates comprise a first side plate and a second side plate, the first side plate and the second side plate are respectively located at different side edges of the bottom plate, a side edge of the first side plate is butted with a side edge of the bottom plate, and the first side plate is a plane plate or a curved plate, a side edge of the second side plate is butted with a side edge of the bottom plate, and the second side plate is a plane plate or a curved plate;
a part of a side edge of the main body portion close to the first side plate extends, in a plane parallel to the bottom plate, toward outside of the accommodating space to form a first flange, the first flange being located in the bezel area, an orthographic projection of the first flange on the bottom plate being at least partially overlapped with an orthographic projection of the first side plate on the bottom plate, and the first limiting portion being at least partially located on the first flange;
an end of the first side plate away from the bottom plate is provided therein with a first notch at a position corresponding to the first flange, and at least a portion of the first flange is located in the first notch; or the first side plate is provided therein with a through hole at a position corresponding to the first flange, and at least a portion of the first flange is located in the through hole;
the first limiting portion extends in the direction away from the first flange, a side edge of the optical film layer close to the first side plate is provided therein with a second notch; the first limiting portion is matched with the second notch in shape, in a first direction in which the first side plate is away from the display area, the second notch has a size larger than that of the first limiting portion, and in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the second notch has a size the same as a size of the first limiting portion;
an orthographic projection of the first limiting portion on the bottom plate is at least partially located within a region where an orthographic projection of the second notch on the bottom plate is located, and a distance between an end face of the first limiting portion away from the first flange and the bottom plate is greater than or equal to a distance between a surface of the optical film layer away from the light guide plate and the bottom plate;
the backlight module further comprises a lamp strip disposed on a side of the second side plate close to the light guide plate, the lamp strip comprising a base substrate and a plurality of light sources arranged on the base substrate at intervals, light emitting surfaces of the light sources facing an end face, at a side edge of the light guide plate, of the light guide plate; and
the light guide plate further comprises a second limiting portion located on a side, close to the optical film layer, of the main body portion, the second limiting portion being located in the bezel area, and a part of a side edge of the main body portion close to the second side plate extends, in a plane parallel to the bottom plate, toward outside of the accommodating space to form a second flange, the second flange is located in the bezel area, and at least part of the second flange is located in a space between two adjacent light sources, the second flange is located in the bezel area, at least part of the second flange is located in a space between two adjacent light sources, and the second limiting portion is arranged on the second flange, and at least part of the second limiting portion is located in a space between two adjacent light sources; or an orthographic projection of a side edge of the main body portion close to the second side plate on the bottom plate is on a side of orthographic projections of the light sources on the bottom plate away from an orthographic projection of the base substrate on the bottom plate, and an orthographic projection of the second limiting portion on the bottom plate is at least partially overlapped with an orthographic projection of a side edge, close to the second side plate, of the main body portion on the bottom plate, and at least part of the second limiting portion is located in a space between two adjacent light sources.

2. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where a portion of the first flange is located in the first notch, a thickness of the first flange in a direction away from the bottom plate is greater than about 1 mm and less than a thickness, in the direction away from the bottom plate, of a part of the main body portion except the first flange.

3. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein a first spacing between a side edge of the display area close to the first side plate and the first side plate is greater than 0 mm and less than about 4 mm, and
a spacing between a side edge of the display area close to the first side plate and the first limiting portion is greater than 0 mm and smaller than the first spacing.

4. The backlight module according to claim 1 , wherein the second limiting portion extends in a direction away from the main body portion;
