Abstract

A display apparatus included in a wall display includes a first input interface, a first output interface, a second output interface, a plurality of display modules, and a processor configured to, based on an image signal being received through the first input interface, display an image corresponding to a position of the display apparatus on the wall display through the plurality of display modules based on the received image signal, and transmit the received image signal to a first display apparatus and a second display apparatus included in the wall display through the first output interface and the second output interface, respectively.

Claims (39)

1. A display apparatus included in a wall display, the display apparatus comprising:

a first input interface;

a second input interface;

a first output interface;

a second output interface;

a plurality of display modules; and

a processor configured to:

receive a first image signal through the first input interface,

transmit the first image signal to a first display apparatus and a second display apparatus that are included in the wall display through the first output interface and the second output interface, respectively,

receive, from at least one from among the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus through the second input interface, a second image signal which was initially transmitted to the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus through the first output interface and the second output interface, respectively, and

display an image corresponding to a position of the display apparatus on the wall display, through the plurality of display modules, based on one from among the first image signal and the second image signal.

2. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in the receiving the first image signal through the first input interface, the processor is further configured to receive the first image signal through the first input interface connected to an external device, or through the first input interface connected to an output interface of a third display apparatus included in the wall display.

3. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit the first image signal to the first display apparatus disposed adjacent to a first side of the display apparatus through the first output interface, and transmit the first image signal to the second display apparatus disposed adjacent to a second side of the display apparatus through the second output interface.

4. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the first image signal transmitted to the first display apparatus through the first output interface is sequentially transmitted to one or more third display apparatuses disposed in a first direction of the first display apparatus, and

the first image signal transmitted to the second display apparatus through the second output interface is sequentially transmitted to one or more fourth display apparatuses disposed in the first direction of the second display apparatus and sequentially transmitted to one or more fifth display apparatuses disposed in a second direction of the second display apparatus.

5. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, based on a third display apparatus being newly added to the wall display and the first input interface being connected to an output interface of the third display apparatus, receive the first image signal from the third display apparatus through the first input interface.

6. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, based on a third display apparatus being newly added to the wall display and the second output interface being connected to an input interface of the third display apparatus, transmit the first image signal to the third display apparatus through the second output interface.

7. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in the displaying the image, the processor is further configured to, based on an error in the first image signal received through the first input interface, display the image corresponding to the position of the display apparatus on the wall display based on the second image signal received through the second input interface.

8. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus is disposed at an edge area of the wall display.

9. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first image signal transmitted to the second display apparatus through the second output interface is further sequentially transmitted through one or more third display apparatuses of the wall display that are sequentially disposed adjacent the second display apparatus on a side opposite to the display apparatus and is finally transmitted through the first display apparatus to the second input interface of the display apparatus.

10. A controlling method of a display apparatus included in a wall display, the controlling method comprising:

receiving a first image signal through a first input interface of the display apparatus;

transmitting the first image signal to a first display apparatus and a second display apparatus that are included in the wall display through a first output interface and a second output interface, of the display apparatus, respectively;

receiving, from at least one from among the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus through a second input interface of the display apparatus, a second image signal which was initially transmitted to the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus through the first output interface and the second output interface, respectively; and

displaying an image corresponding to a position of the display apparatus on the wall display, through a plurality of display modules included in the display apparatus, based on one from among the first image signal and the second image signal.

11. The controlling method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the receiving the first image signal through the first input interface further comprises:

receiving the first image signal through the first input interface of the display apparatus connected to an external device, or through the first input interface connected to an output interface of a third display apparatus included in the wall display.

12. The controlling method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the transmitting further comprises:

transmitting the first image signal to the first display apparatus disposed adjacent to a first side of the display apparatus through the first output interface, and

transmitting the first image signal to the second display apparatus disposed adjacent to a second side of the display apparatus through the second output interface.

13. The controlling method as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the first image signal transmitted to the first display apparatus through the first output interface is sequentially transmitted to one or more third display apparatuses disposed in a first direction of the first display apparatus, and

the first image signal transmitted to the second display apparatus through the second output interface is sequentially transmitted to one or more fourth display apparatuses disposed in the first direction of the second display apparatus and sequentially transmitted to one or more fifth display apparatuses disposed in a second direction of the second display apparatus.

14. The controlling method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the receiving the first image signal through the first input interface further comprises:

based on a third display apparatus being newly added to the wall display and the first input interface being connected to an output interface of the third display apparatus, receiving the first image signal from the third display apparatus through the first input interface.

15. The controlling method as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising:

based on a third display apparatus being newly added to the wall display and the second output interface being connected to an input interface of the third display apparatus, transmitting the first image signal to the third display apparatus through the second output interface.

16. The controlling method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the displaying the image further comprises:

based on an error in the first image signal received through the first input interface, displaying the image corresponding to the position of the display apparatus on the wall display based on the second image signal received through the second input interface.

17. The controlling method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the display apparatus is disposed at an edge area of the wall display.
