  "description_excerpt": "The present application relates to the display field, more particularly, to a backlight module and a display device.\n\nWith the wide application of notebook, consumers' requirements for notebook are getting higher and higher. Large screen, narrow bezel, light weight and technological innovation have become the four major trends of notebook development. Most notebook displays in the market are liquid crystal displays. Liquid crystal displays are non-active luminous electronic devices, which do not possess light emitting characteristics. They must rely on the light emitted by the light source in the backlight module to obtain display performance. The brightness of liquid crystal displays depends on its backlight module. It can be seen that the performance of backlight module directly affects the display quality of notebook display.\n\nThe two main positioning components in the backlight module are the middle frame and the backplate. Abnormal positioning of the middle frame and the backplate can easily lead to the optical diaphragm falling off, bending deformation, light leakage and other phenomena, which will lead to abnormal display picture, which is a problem that should not be underestimated.\n\nThere are provided a backlight module and a display device according to embodiments of the present application.",
