The backlight module 30 further includes a first light emitting assembly 33 and a second light emitting assembly 34, the first light emitting assembly 33 and the second light emitting assembly 34 are both located in the containing space 301, the first light emitting assembly 33 is arranged on the back plate body 311, and the second light emitting assembly 34 is arranged on the side of the side plate assembly 312 facing the containing space 301. When the first light emitting assembly 33 emits light, the second light emitting assembly 34 selectively emits light or does not emit light according to the ambient light intensity.
[0045] It can be understood that the backlight module 30 includes two independent light emitting assemblies, i.e., the first light emitting assembly 33 and the second light emitting assembly 34. When the display device 100 is used in an indoor environment, at this time the ambient light intensity is weak, the first light emitting assembly 33 emits light, and the second light emitting assembly 34 does not emit light, so that the light emitting intensity of the backlight module 30 can meet the needs of the display device 100 used indoors. When the display device 100 is used in an outdoor environment, at this time the ambient light intensity is strong, the first light emitting assembly 33 and the second light emitting assembly 34 both emit light, so that the light emitting intensity of the backlight module 30 is increased to meet the needs of the display device 100 used outdoors, avoid the display device 100 displaying a picture that is not clear due to strong outdoor light, and improve the adaptability of the display device 100 to different ambient light intensities, so that the display device 100 can clearly display a picture indoors and outdoors.
[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the first light emitting assembly 33 and the second light emitting assembly 34 are independently controlled, i.e., the light emitting state of the first light emitting assembly 33 and the light emitting state of the second light emitting assembly 34 do not affect each other. In addition, the first light emitting assembly 33 is arranged on the back plate body 311 to form a back light-in system, and the second light emitting assembly 34 is arranged on the side of the side plate assembly 312 facing the containing space 301 to form a side light-in system; when the display device 100 is used in an indoor environment, the back light-in system is turned on alone, and when the display device 100 is used in an outdoor environment, the back light-in system and the side light-in system are both turned on.
[0047] In an example embodiment, the back plate body 311 can be a rectangular plate structure as a whole, and the side plate assembly 312 can be a hollow frame structure having four side plates connected in sequence and arranged at the periphery of the back plate body 311 respectively to enclose the accommodating space 301.
[0048] In an example embodiment, the back plate body 311 and the side plate assembly 312 can be integrally formed.
[0049] In summary, the backlight module 30 provided by the example embodiment includes a first light emitting assembly 33 and a second light emitting assembly 34, and the first light emitting assembly 33 and the second light emitting assembly 34 constitute independent light-in systems respectively. When the display device 100 is used in an indoor environment, the first light emitting assembly 33 emits light, and the second light emitting assembly 34 does not emit light, and the light emitting intensity of the backlight module 30 can meet the needs of the display device 100 used indoors. When the display device 100 is used in an outdoor environment, the first light emitting assembly 33 and the second light emitting assembly 34 both emit light, and the light emitting intensity of the backlight module 30 is increased to meet the needs of the display device 100 used outdoors, thereby avoiding the display device 100 displaying unclear pictures caused by strong outdoor light, improving the adaptability of the display device 100 to different ambient light intensities, and enabling the display device 100 to clearly display pictures indoors and outdoors. In addition, when the first light emitting assembly 33 emits light, the second light emitting assembly 34 selectively emits light or does not emit light according to the ambient light intensity, so that the backlight module 30 can provide corresponding light emitting intensity according to the ambient light intensity to meet the specific needs of the display device 100 used indoors or outdoors, thereby expanding the use scenarios of the display device 100.
[0050] In the example embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The first light emitting assembly 33 includes a first driving plate 331 and a plurality of first light emitting units 333.

The 1D local dimming refers to that the first light emitting assembly 33 has a plurality of light emitting columns arranged side by side, and the luminance of each light emitting column can be adjusted individually. The 2D local dimming refers to that the first light emitting assembly 33 has a plurality of light emitting areas arranged in an array, and the luminance of each light emitting area can be adjusted individually.

The light emitting unit 333 can be a light emitting diode (LED) or a mini light emitting diode (Mini LED), which is not specifically limited in the present application. The light emitted by the first light emitting unit 333 can be white light.
[0055] In the exemplary embodiment, the first driving board 331 and the back plate body 311 can be bonded by double-sided adhesive.
[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 3 The second light emitting assembly 34 includes a second driving board 341 and a plurality of second light emitting units 343. The second driving board 341 is arranged in the accommodation space 301 and connected to one side of the side plate assembly 312 facing the accommodation space 301, and the plurality of second light emitting units 343 are arranged on the side of the second driving board 341 opposite to the side plate assembly 312 and electrically connected with the second driving board 341. The second driving board 341 is used to drive the plurality of second light emitting units 343 to emit light.
[0057] It can be understood that the second light emitting assembly 34 is a side light type backlight, and the second light emitting assembly 34 can be a light bar.
[0058] In this embodiment of the application, the second driving board 341 is provided with a corresponding driving circuit. The driving circuit is electrically connected to a plurality of second light-emitting units 343 and provides a corresponding operating current to the plurality of second light-emitting units 343 to drive the plurality of second light-emitting units 343 to emit light.
[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of the second light-emitting units 343 may be arranged side by side on the second driving board 341, that is, the plurality of the second light-emitting units 343 are distributed in a single row. The second light-emitting unit 343 may be a light-emitting diode (LED), and the light emitted by the second light-emitting unit 343 may be white light.
[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the second drive plate 341 and the side plate assembly 312 can be bonded together with double-sided adhesive.
[0061] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The backlight module 30 further includes a diffuser plate assembly 35, which includes a diffuser plate 351. The diffuser plate 351 is disposed within the accommodating space 301 and is located on the side of the first light-emitting unit 333 facing away from the first driving plate 331 and the side of the second light-emitting unit 343 facing away from the second driving plate 341, and is spaced apart from both the first light-emitting unit 333 and the second light-emitting unit 343.
[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, the diffuser plate 351 may have an overall rectangular plate structure. The diffuser plate 351 is used to homogenize the light emitted by the plurality of first light-emitting units 333, making the backlight provided by the backlight module 30 to the display panel 10 more uniform. The orthographic projection of the plurality of first light-emitting units 333 on the back panel body 311 is located within the orthographic projection of the diffuser plate 351 on the back panel body 311. That is, the area where the plurality of first light-emitting units 333 are located is covered by the diffuser plate 351, and the periphery of the area where the plurality of first light-emitting units 333 are located is also covered by the diffuser plate 351, so that the light emitted by the plurality of first light-emitting units 333 can pass through the diffuser plate 351.
[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the plurality of second light-emitting units 343 on the second driving plate 341 is located within the orthographic projection of the diffuser plate 351 on the second driving plate 341.
[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the material of the diffuser plate 351 may include resin.
[0065] Please refer to the embodiments described in this application as well. Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 4 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the diffuser plate of the backlight module shown. Figure 5 for Figure 4 An enlarged schematic diagram of structure V in the diffuser plate shown. Figure 6 for Figure 4 The diagram shows the layer structure of the diffuser plate. A groove 351a is formed on one side of the diffuser plate 351 facing the plurality of second light-emitting units 343. A plurality of mounting holes 351b are formed on the bottom wall of the groove 351a. The mounting holes 351b extend towards the side of the diffuser plate 351 away from the plurality of second light-emitting units 343, meaning the mounting holes 351b are formed by the bottom wall of the groove 351a extending recessed into the interior of the diffuser plate 351.
[0066] In an exemplary implementation, please refer to Figure 5 The shape of the plane corresponding to the opening of the groove 351a can be rectangular, that is, the groove 351a is a rectangular groove. The radial section of the mounting hole 351b can be circular, that is, the mounting hole 351b is a circular hole.
[0067] Please refer to the embodiments described in this application as well. Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 for Figure 3 The diagram shows a three-dimensional assembly of the second light-emitting component and the diffuser plate component. Figure 8 for Figure 7 The diagram shows an enlarged view of structure VIII in the diffuser assembly. The diffuser assembly 35 also includes a plurality of light guide elements 355, which are housed within the mounting hole 351b and are used to guide the light emitted by the second light-emitting unit 343 to the diffuser 351.
[0068] It is understood that multiple second light-emitting units 343 are disposed on one side plate of the side plate assembly 312, and the light guide element 355 is used to uniformly guide the light emitted by the second light-emitting units 343 to the diffuser plate 351 to avoid uneven backlighting provided by the backlight module 30.
[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, the light guide element 355 may be an optical fiber.
[0070] In the exemplary implementation, please refer to the following: Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 for Figure 3A front view structural schematic diagram of the light guide element and the second light emitting unit, Figure 10 To Figure 3 A side view structural schematic diagram of the light guide element and the second light emitting unit. A plurality of the mounting holes 351b are arranged in a single row on the bottom wall of the groove 351a, and the arrangement direction of the plurality of the mounting holes 351b on the bottom wall of the groove 351a is the same as the arrangement direction of the plurality of the second light emitting units 343 on the second driving board 341. Correspondingly, a plurality of the light guide elements 355 are arranged in a single row, and the arrangement direction of the plurality of the light guide elements 355 is the same as the arrangement direction of the plurality of the second light emitting units 343 on the second driving board 341. The positions of the plurality of the light guide elements 355 correspond to the positions of the plurality of the second light emitting units 343 one by one, that is, the orthographic projection of the light guide element 355 on the second driving board 341 coincides or partially coincides with the orthographic projection of the second light emitting unit 343 on the second driving board 341, that is, the orthographic projection of the light guide element 355 on the second driving board 341 at least partially coincides with the orthographic projection of the second light emitting unit 343 on the second driving board 341.
[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, part of the light guide elements 355 can extend out of the opening of the mounting hole 351b and be located in the groove 351a.
[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, referring to Figure 6 , the mounting hole 351b should be recessed and extended towards the side of the diffusion plate 351 facing away from the second light emitting unit 343, but not penetrate through the diffusion plate 351. Correspondingly, the light guide element 355 is close to the side of the diffusion plate 351 facing away from the second light emitting unit 343, but does not extend out of the side of the diffusion plate 351 facing away from the second light emitting unit 343.
[0073] It can be understood that the light guide element 355 close to the side of the diffusion plate 351 facing away from the second light emitting unit 343 allows the light emitted by the second light emitting unit 343 to pass through the light guide element 355, thereby covering the entire diffusion plate 351. The light guide element 355 does not extend out of the side of the diffusion plate 351 facing away from the second light emitting unit 343, avoiding the light emitted by the second light emitting unit 343 from exposing the diffusion plate 351, resulting in a bright edge of the backlight module 30.
[0074] In an example embodiment, the diameter of the light guide element 355 can be 1 mm to 2 mm, for example, 1 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.7 mm, 1.9 mm, 2 mm, or other values, which are not specifically limited in the present application. The length of the light guide element 355 is 2 mm to 3 mm less than the distance between the side of the diffusion plate 351 facing the second light emitting unit 343 and the side facing away from the second light emitting unit 343, that is, the length of the light guide element 355 is 2 mm to 3 mm less than the length of the diffusion plate 351, for example, 2 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.7 mm, 3 mm, or other values, which are not specifically limited in the present application.
[0075] In an example embodiment, the distance between two adjacent light guide elements 355 can be 5 mm to 10 mm, for example, 5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6 mm, 6.8 mm, 7.5 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, or other values, which are not specifically limited in the present application. It can be understood that if the distance between two adjacent light guide elements 355 is less than 5 mm, the number of light guide elements 355 will increase, which is not conducive to reducing costs; if the distance between two adjacent light guide elements 355 is greater than 10 mm, a bright band will appear on the backlight module 30, which will result in poor backlight uniformity.
