2. The back housing according to claim 1 , wherein the back housing comprises five housing bodies which are vertically arranged, and the back housing is left-and-right symmetric with respect to a central axis of a length of the back housing, which is a central axis perpendicular to a length direction of the back housing in a planar state and parallel to a width direction of the back housing in the planar state.

3. The back housing according to claim 2 , wherein the back housing comprises one inner housing body, two middle housing bodies and two outer housing bodies, the two middle housing bodies are connected respectively to two opposite sides of the inner housing body, and the two outer housing bodies are connected respectively to sides of the two middle housing bodies away from the inner housing body; and at least one rotating connector is arranged between the inner housing body and each of the middle housing bodies, and at least one sliding connector is arranged between each of the middle housing bodies and each of the outer housing bodies.

4. The back housing according to claim 3 , wherein the rotating connector comprises a first protruding ear and a second protruding ear, the first protruding ear and the second protruding ear are arranged respectively on adjacent sides of the inner housing body and the middle housing bodies, and the first protruding ear and the second protruding ear can be rotated relative to each other around the axis parallel to the sides.

5. The back housing according to claim 4 , wherein a hanging hole is arranged on the first protruding ear, a first protruding post matching the hanging hole is arranged on the second protruding ear, the first protruding post protrudes parallel to the sides, and the hanging hole can be sheathed on the first protruding post so that the first protruding ear and the second protruding ear can be rotated around an axis along which the first protruding post protrudes.

6. The back housing according to claim 4 , wherein the rotating connector further comprises a rotating shaft, a first through-hole is arranged on the first protruding ear, a second through-hole is arranged on the second protruding ear, the first through-hole and the second through-hole are sheathed on the rotating shaft, and the first protruding ear and the second protruding ear can be rotated around an axis of the rotating shaft.

7. The back housing according to claim 3 , wherein the sliding connector comprises a slide hole and a sliding post, which are arranged respectively on adjacent sides of the middle housing body and the outer housing body, a length direction of the slide hole is perpendicular to the sides, and the sliding post can slide in the slide hole along the length direction of the slide hole.

8. The back housing according to claim 7 , wherein a blocker is arranged at the top of the sliding post to block the sliding post from slipping out of the slide hole.

9. The back housing according to claim 7 , wherein the sliding post comprises a bolt post and a sliding bolt cooperating with the bolt post, and a diameter of a nut of the sliding bolt is larger than a width of the sliding hole.

10. The back housing according to claim 3 , wherein the display device further comprises a display module configured to carry a display screen and optical devices, and bolt holes are arranged on the inner housing body so that the inner housing body can be connected with the display module by bolts.

11. A back housing applicable to a display device, the back housing comprises at least three housing bodies, which are connected by connectors to constitute the back housing, length directions of the housing bodies are along a length direction of the back housing, width directions of the housing bodies are along a width direction of the back housing, adjacent housing bodies are connected by the connectors, lengths of the housing bodies are no larger than a length of the back housing, widths of the housing bodies match with a width of the back housing, and thicknesses of the housing bodies are no larger than a thickness of the back housing.

12. The back housing according to claim 11 , wherein the connectors comprise a first connector and a second connector, and adjacent housing bodies are connected by at least one first connector and/or at least one second connector.

13. The back housing according to claim 12 , wherein the first connector is a rotating connector, and the second connector is a sliding connector.

14. The back housing according to claim 13 , wherein the back housing comprises five housing bodies, the five housing bodies comprise one inner housing body, two middle housing bodies and two outer housing bodies, the two outer housing bodies are connected respectively to two sides of the back housing in the width direction, the two middle housing bodies are connected respectively to two sides of the two outer housing bodies, away from the two sides of the back housing in the width direction, and the inner housing body is located between the two middle housing bodies.

15. A display device with a back housing, wherein the back housing comprises at least three housing bodies, which are connected by connectors to constitute the back housing, length directions of the housing bodies are along a length direction of the back housing, width directions of the housing bodies are along a width direction of the back housing, adjacent housing bodies are connected by the connectors, lengths of the housing bodies are no larger than a length of the back housing, widths of the housing bodies match with a width of the back housing, and thicknesses of the housing bodies are no larger than a thickness of the back housing.

16. The display device according to claim 15 , wherein the connectors comprise a first connector and a second connector, and adjacent housing bodies are connected by at least one first connector and/or at least one second connector.

17. The display device according to claim 16 , wherein the first connector is a rotating connector, and the second connector is a sliding connector.
