The second groove 215 is recessed from a side surface of the buckle body 213. The glass plate boss 22b protrudes from the inner side wall of the glass plate through hole 22a. The glass plate boss 22b is clamped into the second groove 215, so that the glass back plate 22 can be more stably clamped with the buckle 218, and be steadily disposed in the backlight structure. The present embodiment is applicable to the case where the glass back plate is relatively thick, thus, the upper end of the buckle body 213 is flush with the upper surface of the glass back plate 22, and the assembling of the components such as the light guide plate and the polarizer on the upper surface of the glass back plate 22 is not affected. The heat sink 21 can be separated from the glass back plate 22 by the buckle 218, and a gap exists therebetween, so that the heat dissipation does not affect the glass back plate 22, and such structure is favorable for reworking of the product.
