The present invention discloses a direct type backlight module and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) device. A direct type backlight module comprises a diffuser plate located on the light emergent surface and a backplane opposite to the diffuser plate; a support pin is arranged between the backplane and the diffuser plate, and the support pin is rigidly fixed to the backplane. Because the support pin of the present invention is rigidly fixed on the backplane, there is no direct relationship between the present invention and the thicknesses of the backplane and the LED light plate fixed on the backplane, and no noise is produced by the loosed “mushroom head” due to infirm gripping; therefore, the support pin can be firmly fixed. The support pin can be rigidly fixed by modes facilitating the automatic operation like SMT welding and riveting, which is advantageous for promoting the productivity and the conformance rate.
