Abstract

A hanger hanging multiple display modules is provided. Each display module has at least one rolling receiving portion. The hanger includes a hanger base and a first hanging structure disposed on the hanger base and including at least one first hanging slot corresponding to the rolling receiving portion of the display module. A rolling receiving portion of a first display module passes through the first hanging slot to hang the first display module on the first hanging structure. The first hanging slot includes a first guide section extending along a first direction and a second guide section extending along a second direction. The second guide section is connected to the first guide section. The rolling receiving portion reaches a first position by guidance of the first guide section and a second position by guidance of the second guide section. A display device using the hanger is further provided.
