A polarization splitting backlight module for efficiently emitting polarized light beams is disclosed. The polarization splitting backlight module of the present invention comprises a light source, an under plate, a substrate, a phase retardation reflective film, a scattering structure, a thin film and an upper cover. The light beams emitted from the non-polarized light source are introduced into the substrate, and after scattering, reflection, phase retardation and polarization splitting, the light beams will pass through the upper cover being of a single polarization state so as to be utilized by electro-optical systems, such as liquid crystal displays. The present invention converts light beams into a single polarization state, and thereby the efficiency of polarization splitting, as well as the brightness, are higher than that of a conventional backlight module.
