Provided are a screen frame and a laser projection display device. The screen frame includes a plurality of side frames that are connected end to end, where each two adjacent side frames of the plurality of side frames are connected by at least two connectors, and the at least two connectors are connected to the each two adjacent side frames by fasteners; the at least two connectors include a first connector and a second connector, and an inserting direction of a fastener on the first connector is perpendicular to a plane where the screen frame is located, and an inserting direction of a fastener on the second connector is parallel to the plane where the screen frame is located. The present disclosure can realize accurate alignment and joining relatively easily.

Provided are a screen frame and a laser projection display device. The screen frame includes a plurality of side frames that are connected end to end, where a joint of each two of the plurality of side frames is provided with at least two connectors and receiving grooves corresponding to the at least two connectors in a one to one manner, and the at least two connectors have inserting portions extendable into the receiving grooves, at least one inserting portion of the inserting portions is provided with a telescopic engaging member, and a side wall of a receiving groove which is corresponding to an inserting portion having the engaging member is provided with a receiving hole corresponding to the engaging member; the engaging member is configured to extend into the receiving hole for positioning; and the inserting portions are connected to side walls of the receiving grooves by fasteners.

In one embodiment, a frame assembly includes a mitered frame base including a plurality of rail sections that are joined together in corners of the mitered frame base by a plurality of fasteners. Each rail section includes a first surface for receiving a layered image arrangement. The frame assembly also includes a plurality of mitered splines that are configured to snap-fittingly mate with the plurality of rail sections. Each spline having a second surface that faces the first surface of one of the respective rail sections for securing the layered image arrangement between the spline and the rail section. A corner gap is formed between ends of respective mitered splines in each corner of the frame assembly. A plurality of corner pieces are received within the corner gaps to complete the frame assembly, the plurality of corner pieces snap-fittingly engaging the plurality of rails sections.

A hanging system and a method of hanging a support structure from a support surface. The hanging system may include a support structure and a hanging bracket for hanging the support structure from a support surface such as a wall. The support structure may include a mounting groove that accepts a portion of the hanging bracket to facilitate the coupling therebetween. The support structure may be able to slide side-to-side along the support surface while remaining coupled to the hanging bracket. The hanging system may alternatively, or additionally, include a reinforcement bracket. The reinforcement bracket may serve the dual purpose of holding the various mitered components of the support structure together and facilitating the hanging of the support structure from the support surface.
