Abstract

The present application relates to a spliced box and a spliced display screen. In the process of splicing and assembling a plurality of boxes, when there is a height difference between a second surface of a certain box and a second surface of other boxes, the first adjusting member at the box is adjusted to raise or lower the box so that the height of the second surface of the box is adjusted. As a result, the second surface of the box is on the same plane as the second surface of other boxes so that the display units on the second surface of the boxes are on the same plane.
