If S ϕ(x) S ϕ(y ) for every two adjacent vertices x ,y , we call this edge colouring ϕneighbour-distinguishing edge colouring . In short, it’s calledndedge-colouring. In this paper, according to the structure character- istics of the outer plane graph, we can make the upper bound of the neighbour- distinguishing edge chromatic number of the 2-connected outer plane graph reach to 4. Furthermore, we get the conclusion that 2-connected outer plane graph can ndedge-coloured using 3 colours, by analyzing thendedge-colouring of be some particular 2-connected outer plane graphs such as 2-connected outer plane graph without triangle , 2-connected outer plane graph which dual graph is a tree and so on.
