Is there any key kombination or terminal code that turns the display off? It should work like when you lock the screen: As soon as you move the mouse the display should turn on again (without the need of doing a login).

xset dpms force off

You can look at man xset for more details. You can also set dpms to standby and suspend, but I think how this works depends on your hardware.
