The invention discloses a high-brightness and wide-color-
gamut direct type backlight module and a
liquid crystal display applying the module. The high-brightness and wide-color-
gamut direct type backlight module comprises an
optical membrane set, a backlight lamp plate, and a plurality of
colored lamps and white lamps which are arranged on the backlight lamp plate and are mixed and matched; the
optical membrane set sequentially comprises a polarization type brightness enhancing membrane, a brightness enhancing membrane and a
diffusion membrane from top to bottom; the backlight lamp plate is located below the
optical membrane set; the ratio of a light mixing distance of the
colored lamps and the white lamps to the distance between the lamps of the same type is (1.1-1.2) to 1; and the light mixing distance is the distance from the upper surface of each lamp to the lower surface of the
diffusion membrane. According to the high-brightness and wide-color-
gamut direct type backlight module, an optimal RGB (Red, Green and Blue) lamp for improving a color gamut of the
liquid crystal display is obtained; a light mixing defect of the full
colored lamps is improved by applying a method of mixing and matching the colored lamps and the white lamps; and meanwhile, the light mixing distance is reduced. Backlight is optimized so that the excellent display quality and optical taste of a
liquid crystal module are realized under the condition of keeping the high brightness and the wide color gamut, and the thickness of a full-colored-lamp direct type backlight cavity is reduced.
