1. A display apparatus of a plurality of display apparatuses included in a modular display apparatus, the display apparatus comprising:
a plurality of display modules combined in an arrangement of a matrix form;
a first sensor provided at a lower side of the display apparatus, a second sensor provided at an upper side of the display apparatus, a third sensor provided at a right side of the display apparatus, and a fourth sensor provided at a left side of the display apparatus;
a plurality of wireless communicators; and
one or more processors configured to:
based on receiving an image signal from a first another display apparatus adjacent to the display apparatus of the plurality of display apparatuses through a first wireless communicator of the plurality of wireless communicators provided at the lower side of the display apparatus, identify a second another display apparatus adjacent to the display apparatus and transmit the image signal to the second another display apparatus adjacent to the display apparatus through a second wireless communicator of the plurality of wireless communicators provided at the upper side of the display apparatus based on identifying the second another display apparatus,
based on receiving power from the first another display apparatus, provide the power to the second another display apparatus to which the power is to be supplied among the plurality of display apparatuses without a cable, and
display an image corresponding to the display apparatus through the plurality of display modules, based on the image signal,
wherein each of the plurality of display modules is an independent component, and the plurality of display modules are physically combined to form the display apparatus,
wherein the first another display apparatus is located adjacent to the first wireless communicator and transmits the image signal to the display apparatus through the first wireless communicator, and the second another display apparatus is located adjacent to the second wireless communicator and receives the image signal from the display apparatus through the second wireless communicator,
wherein the first another display apparatus is located on the lower side of the display apparatus in the modular display apparatus, and the second another display apparatus is located on the upper side of the display apparatus in the modular display apparatus, and
wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
based on each of two or more sensors from among the first sensor, the second sensor, the third sensor and the fourth sensor sensing an adjacent display apparatus included in the plurality of display apparatuses and adjacent to the display apparatus, identify the second another display apparatus as an adjacent display apparatus to which the power is to be supplied among a number of adjacent display apparatuses sensed by the two or more sensors.
