The disclosure herein relates to the technical field of backlight modules, and particularly to a backlight module and a display device.
A liquid crystal display (LCD) has many advantages such as thin body, power saving, and no radiation, and thus is widely used in televisions, computers, mobile phones and other electronic products. LCD is a passive light-emitting display, and a display screen of the LCD does not emit light, but is illuminated by a backlight module behind the display screen.
With the change in people's consumption concept, consumers are expecting lighter, thinner and more attractive appearances of LCDs. Traditional backlight modules are divided into two types: a direct type and a side light type, according to different light-emitting methods. A side light module is thinner and more fashionable than a direct type module, which is in line with the fashion pursuit of modern people.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the degree of polarization Pt of the refracted light L3 is calculated to be about 5%, indicating that the degree of polarization of the transmitted light is increased from 0% to 5%, and this part of light may be utilized, so a utilization rate of the light emitted by the backlight module may be increased and power consumption thereof is reduced.
According to the above backlight module provided by an embodiment of the disclosure, by arranging the first vertex angle of the first prism, the first included angle formed by the first inclined surface of the dot structure and the first bottom surface of the light guide plate, and the second included angle between the light emitted by the backlight source and the horizontal line, the first included angle, the second included angle and the first vertex angle satisfy that: the light emitted by the backlight source is incident to the first inclined surface and then reflected to the second inclined surface of the first prism, and the first incident angle between the light reflected to the second inclined surface of the first prism and the normal of the second inclined surface is a Brewster angle. In this way, an intensity difference between S light and P light of the light transmitted from the second inclined surface is the maximum, the first prism may have a degree of polarization larger than 0, and compared to a degree of polarization of 0 of a prism in the related art, at least 50% of the light is absorbed by polarized light in general. In an embodiment of the disclosure, by matching a light emitting angle of the backlight source, an inclination angle of the first inclined surface of the dot structure and the first vertex angle of the first prism, the first prism may have the degree of polarization larger than 0, so that the light transmitted from the first prism has a higher utilization rate, thus improving light emission efficiency of the backlight module.

It is calculated above that α1=β2=54°, so α2=54°, and therefore the third vertex angle α3 of the first prism 31 is equal to 72°. β1=90°−β2=36°, and then θ5=90°−2β1=18°. Assuming that the second included angle θ2 between the light L1 emitted by the backlight source 2 and the horizontal line L is equal to 2°, all θ1=β1−(θ2)/2=35°, so θ4=90°−θ1−θ2=53°. Assuming that the light guide plate 1 adopts a PC material and a refractive index of the light guide plate 1 is 1.89, it may be calculated that a total reflection angle of the light guide plate 1 is about 39°.
