  • Patent number: 11134346
    Abstract: A backlight module and display device using the same are provided. The backlight module has a light guide plate. A piezoelectric module is arranged at the outer side of the backside surface of the light guide plate and configured to produce a vibration. The vibration is directly or indirectly transmitted to a resonator, for example, a light guide plate or a bezel, to produce resonance, and a space to which the backside surface is oriented is used as a resonance cavity. By means of the arrangement, the screen-to-body ratio of electronic products and the sound quality can be improved while taking into account the thickness and volume of the electronic products.
