The invention relates to a flat backlight, which comprises light-scattering plates, a conical reflector and a light bar. The conical reflector of the flat backlight is integrally formed by a pluralityof conical cavities, light holes and light troughs, wherein the multiple conical cavities protrude backwards, are connected to one another and uniformly distributed according to an array, and have backward conical top faces, the light holes are formed in reflectors at the conical top face parts, and the light troughs surround the reflectors of each row or each column of the conical top faces; theconical inner walls of the conical cavities are coated with reflective layers, a connection mechanism on a plurality of light-scattering plates is arranged on the positions, near the edge parts, around the rear sides of the light-scattering plates, and a connection mechanism on the reflectors is arranged on the positions, near the edge parts, around the conical reflectors; and light strips are mounted in the light troughs 25 on the reflectors, light of light sources on the light strips penetrate through the light holes in the reflectors, and the light-scattering plates are installed on the front sides of the conical reflectors and fixed through the connecting mechanism on the light-scattering plates and the connecting mechanism on the reflectors. According to the technical scheme, the light emitted by the light sources shine evenly on the light-scattering plates without dark edges, after being spliced together, obvious edge lines and dark fringes can also be avoided, and display equipment with large-area luminescence can be made by splicing.
