Abstract
A backlight module comprises a frame, a light source, an optical film and a light blocking element or a light reducing element. The frame has at least one recess formed on a sidewall thereof. The light source is disposed in the frame and located on one side thereof. The optical film is disposed in the frame and has at least one protrusion portion corresponding to the recess. The light blocking element or the light reducing element is disposed corresponding to the recess. By utilizing the light blocking element or the light reducing element, the light emitting from the light source can be block from leaking through the recess or the amount of the emitting light being reflected by a bezel of the frame can be reduced, whereby the amount of light leaking though the recess can be reduced.
