Hi,
The built-in action to lock the device also turns the display off on most (or all) devices since the API is designed this way by Google. You could probably create a workaround by executing an action Turn Screen On directly after action Lock Device. Adding a third action Dismiss Slide to Unlock Keyguard might show the PIN/Password screen. Note that this worked in a quick test on a Pixel XL with Android 8.1 but manufacturers like Samsung often modify the behavior of the lock screen features so it might not work on all devices.
Regards,
Martin
