    Abstract: The present provides a back plate including a plate and a side wall. The side wall extends out from an edge of the plate, wherein the side wall includes a wall body, a first bending sheet, and a second bending sheet. The first bending sheet is formed by bending outward from a top end of the wall body along a first rotating direction. The second bending sheet is formed by bending an end of the first bending sheet that is away from the top end of the wall body inward along a second rotating direction contrary to the first rotating direction, wherein at least a portion of the second bending sheet overlaps the first bending sheet. The second bending sheet includes a fixing part disposed on a face of the second bending sheet that faces away from the first bending sheet.
