Abstract

An external hanging touch screen including a touch panel and a controller, wherein the touch panel is fabricated from a transparent material. The present invention is characterized in that a rectangular frame is constructed around an edging of the touch panel, and an inner side edging of the frame is slightly smaller than the touch panel, while an outer edging of the frame corresponds to an outer edging of a screen front cover of the monitor. Accordingly, aforementioned configuration utilizes the frame to hang on the screen front cover of the computer monitor, thereby producing an effect of protecting the monitor, moreover, the touch screen can be assembled and dismantled at anytime, thus furnishing flexibility in usage to a user, and achieving effectiveness of economical benefit.

Claims
