1. A backlight module, comprising:
a back plate;
a light guide plate disposed on the back plate and comprising:
a first side and a second side opposite to each other; and
two third sides opposite to each other and between the first side and the second side, and the third sides being perpendicular to the first side;
a plurality of light-emitting components disposed on the first side of the light guide plate, wherein light generated from the light-emitting components enters the light guide plate through the first side; and
a frame covering the second side and the third sides of the light guide plate, wherein the frame comprises an opening and at least one buffer portion, the light-emitting components are disposed in the opening to leave a space behind the light-emitting components, the frame is located outside of the space, and the buffer portion is located on a side of the opening and contacts the light guide plate;
wherein the light guide plate further comprises at least one fourth side connected between the first side and one of the third sides, the fourth side is not parallel to the first side and the third sides and has a substantially flat planar surface, and the buffer portion having a flat planar surface which matches and is capable of contacting the substantially flat planar surface of the light guide plate.
