The present disclosure provides a light source, a backlight module and a display apparatus. The light source includes: a light emitting diode chip; and a fluorescent powder layer arranged to face towards the light emitting diode chip and configured to receive a first light emitted from the light emitting diode chip and to emit a second light with a wavelength different from that of the first light, wherein the light emitting diode chip and the fluorescent powder layer are moveable with respect to each other such that quantity of fluorescent powder in the fluorescent powder layer excited by the light emitted from the light emitting diode chip increases or decreases. In the above solution, the light emitting diode chip and the fluorescent power layer are movable with respect to each other, so as to adjust color temperature of backlight conveniently.
