If you attempt to wake your device and tap and swipe randomly on the screen does it speak? If so, you may have accidentally enabled an accessibility feature for those that are visually impaired called screen curtain, which is tied to voice over. With 3 fingers, tap the screen 3 times, quickly. That will disable screen curtain if voice over and screen curtain is enabled. If nothing speaks to you when attempting the tap and swipe after waking, then your display may be dead.
