An edge-type backlight module includes a back bezel, a light guide plate (LGP), a light source, and a frame. The back bezel includes a supporting portion that has a light source supporting surface and an LGP supporting surface. A horizontal level of the light source supporting surface is lower than that of the LGP supporting surface. The LGP is configured on the LGP supporting surface and has a light-incident side surface and a top light-emitting surface. The light source is configured on the light source supporting surface to provide a light beam. The frame is configured on the back bezel and leans against the LGP. The frame has a reflective surface located on a transmission path of the light beam to reflect the light beam, and the reflected light beam enters the LGP from the light-incident side surface.

Edge-type backlight module

A light source module and a backlight module therewith are disclosed. The light source includes a circuit board and a light-emitting diode disposed on the circuit board. The light-emitting diode includes a package unit and a conductive support. The package unit includes an insulation housing, a heat-dissipating support embedded in the insulation housing, and a light-emitting diode chip disposed on the heat-dissipating support and encapsulated by the insulation housing. The light-emitting diode chip includes two electrodes, which are isolated form the heat-dissipating support. The insulation housing thereon defines a light-out surface. The conductive support is disposed on an exterior side surface of the insulation housing and connected to the heat-dissipating support to protrude out the light-out surface. Thereby, the protruding conductive support is also isolated from the two electrodes so as to perform ESD protection for avoiding unexpected damage to the light-emitting diode and extending service life thereof.
