The first sensing patterns 11 are disposed in a first direction. The second and third sensing patterns 12 and 13 are disposed along the second direction and on both sides of the first sensing pattern 11.

Therefore, the second and third sensing patterns 12 and 13 located at the same layer and disposed along the second direction are only connected through the second peripheral trace 17. And the bridging structure is not needed any more, so that the problem that the electrical performance of the OGS touch screen 100 is affected due to the fact that the bridging structure is inclined when a key is touched is avoided, poor key functions are avoided, and the yield of the OGS touch screen 100 is improved.

The first to third sensing patterns 11-13 of the key region 313 are all on the same layer. The second and third sensing patterns 12 and 13 are only connected through the second peripheral trace 17 located at the same layer. The bridging structure is not needed any more, so that the problem that the electrical performance of the OGS touch screen 300 is affected due to the fact that the bridging structure is inclined when a key is touched is avoided, poor key functions are avoided, and the yield of the OGS touch screen 300 is improved.
Further, the touch screen structure 300 further includes a fourth sensing point 14 and a fifth sensing point 15 disposed in the key area 313. The mutual relationship and arrangement of the fourth and fifth sensing points 14 and 15 are the same as those in the first embodiment of the present invention.
