To clarify, if the display is showing a white image will it heat up less in any measurable way compared to if it’s off and just showing black?

No, the screen still absorbs the same amount of light, even when it’s producing its own. It is effectively black from the Sun’s perspective even when the screen is white.
A display that uses a reflective light display such as LCD or e-ink would be the exception. Since they work by changing reflectiveness, they absorb more or less light from their surface.
