The invention discloses a backlight module, a control method thereof and a display device. The backlight module comprises a backlight source composed of a plurality of light emitting devices arranged in a matrix mode. The backlight source comprises a plurality of light emitting regions. A display panel comprises a plurality of display regions. The display regions correspond to the light emitting regions one to one; the backlight module further comprises a backlight control module; when the backlight control module is scanned at the display regions of the display panel, light emitting devices inside the light emitting regions corresponding to the display regions are controlled to emit light. By dividing the backlight source, time-sharing driving is performed, in other words, when the regions, corresponding to the light emitting regions, of the display panel are scanned, the light emitting devices inside the light emitting regions are controlled to emit light, and the light emitting regions corresponding to the regions, not scanned, in the display panel do not emit light, so that the light emitting time of each light emitting device in the backlight source is greatly shortened, a large amount of electric energy is saved, and due to time-sharing driving of the light emitting regions, crosstalk between the left and right eyes can be reduced during 3D scanning.
