Abstract

A direct type backlight module includes an optical film unit and a light emitting unit. The light emitting unit includes a laser sources, transreflective components, reflective components, and phosphors. Each laser source corresponds to a number of the transreflective components and one of the reflective components arranged at an optical path of a laser beam emitted from the laser source in sequence. The transreflective component transmits part of the irradiated laser beam and reflects the other part of the laser beam. The reflective component reflects the irradiated laser beam. The phosphors correspond to the transreflective components and the reflective components one-to-one and emit out white light when irradiated by the laser beam reflected by the transreflective components and the reflective components. The white light transmits through the optical film unit.
