Is posible to turn off the display, not the raspberry pi, after n minutes of being IDLE?

Yes, by using a tvservice command line option inside an autostart.sh script. However, I'm sure you want to turn the display on again, but that's a problem. My tests gave me a Kodi error when trying to turn the display on by tvservice command.
Maybe it's just a script challenge to stop and start Kodi at the right time (before and after turning the display off/on). But without Kodi running, there probably must be found a different way to get an event for display wake-up.

There's an add-on in the Kodi repo desgined to help people switch screens off .. I forget the name but the author is dagweirs.
