Provided are a non-contact type touch panel system that enables a user to input information even without touching a display panel with a finger, and a method of controlling the system. Further, a non-contact type touch panel display structure is also proposed. The non-contact type touch panel display structure can maximally prevent direct contact by a user when the user inputs information to a touch panel because a touch screen is spaced apart from the outer edges of a display. Further, the non-contact type touch panel display structure has a function of enabling a user to visually or aurally recognize information when the information is input in a non-contact type.
