Claim:
An edge-lit backlight module comprising 2n+1 sequentially and equally separated backlight partitions wherein n is a natural number greater than or equal to 1; the 2n+1 backlight partitions are lit or turned off individually and sequentially under a time-sequence control; a LCD panel scanned by the edge-lit backlight module is separated correspondingly into 2n+1 display partitions; the signal to the LCD panel is loaded into the LCD panel frame by frame and display partition by display partition sequentially under a time-sequence control; and the time sequences to the signal to the LCD panel and the signal to the backlight partitions are controlled so that, whenever a first backlight partition is lit, the first n+1 display partitions are loaded with a current frame for a first eye whereas the remaining n display partitions are loaded with a previous frame for a second eye; whenever the n+1 backlight partition in the middle of the edge-lit backlight module is lit, the 2n+1 display partitions are completely loaded with a current frame for the first eye; and, whenever a last backlight partition is lit, the first n display partitions are loaded with a next frame for the second eye whereas the remaining n+1 display partitions are loaded with the current frame for the first eye.
