Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A backlight module and a liquid crystal display are provided. In the backlight module, a reflection sheet and a first optical film set are designed as an up-down engaged box structure, wherein the other elements of the backlight module are fixed inside the box, so as to form the whole of the backlight module. The backlight module has advantages: narrow frame, simple structure, low cost, high light utilization efficiency. The liquid crystal display has advantages such as a narrow frame.
