A backlight module mainly includes a housing and a lamp. The lamp is disposed
in
the housing and includes two conductive terminals extending from two ends of the
lamp and each connected with one of two wires. The present invention is characterized
in that the backlight module has an engaging portion provided on the housing for
fastening the two wires such that any external stress to which the wires are subjected
can be transmitted to the engaging portion rather than concentrates in the joints
between the wires and the conductive terminals of the lamp. The present invention
further provides a liquid crystal display device utilizing the backlight module.
