Abstract: The application provides a light-emitting diode (LED) light bar and a display device using the same, wherein the LED light bar comprises a forward light string in forward series connection with the alternate current (AC), and a string in inverse series connection with the AC. The application is characterized in that the LED light bar also comprises a sharing light string. Said forward light string is in series connection with the sharing light string, and said inverse light string is in series connection with the sharing light string. The application is provided with a sharing light string which is forwardly connected into the forward light string and is inversely connected into the inverse light string. The application can use the sharing light string to act in both the forward light string and the inverse light string to save cost.
