The present invention provides a backlight module and a display device. A first notch is defined in a back plate of the backlight module. The first notch corresponds to a second notch defined in the display panel, and a light source set is disposed on the back plate located on two sides of the first notch, which lowers a dimension of a lower bezel of the display device and enhances a screen ratio such that light of the backlight module entering the display panel becomes more uniform, which enhances the differential performance of the products and improves the market competitiveness of the products.
