a first signal line on the substrate in the main area to provide signals to the plurality of pixels;

a second signal line on the substrate in the protruding area to provide signals to the plurality of pixels;

a compensation line on the substrate in the non-display area and electrically connected to the second signal line; and

a bridge pattern over the second signal line and the compensation line in the non-display area and electrically connecting the second signal line with the compensation line,

wherein the bridge pattern comprises a double-bridge structure.

2. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the bridge pattern comprises first to third bridge metal patterns,

wherein the first bridge metal pattern is over the second signal line and the compensation line and electrically connected to the second signal line,

wherein the second bridge metal pattern is over the second signal line and the compensation line and electrically connected to the compensation signal line, and

wherein the third bridge metal pattern is over the first bridge metal pattern and the second bridge metal pattern and electrically connects the first bridge metal pattern with the second bridge metal pattern.

3. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 2 , wherein the bridge pattern is arranged on a different layer from a layer on which the compensation line is arranged, with an insulating layer therebetween.

4. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 3 , wherein the third bridge metal pattern is arranged on a different layer from a layer on which the first bridge metal pattern and the second bridge metal pattern are arranged, with an insulating layer therebetween.

5. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 3 , wherein the compensation line is arranged on a different layer from a layer on which the first signal line and the second signal line are arranged, with an insulating layer therebetween.

6. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 2 , wherein each of the pixels comprises an organic light-emitting element,

wherein the third bridge metal pattern is made of a same material as an electrode of the organic light-emitting element.

7. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 2 , wherein each of the pixels comprises an organic light-emitting element,
