I'm not aware of an extension that can do this, but there is a command line program called Nircmd that can do the job you're looking for.

Download and include nircmd.exe with your application (it's freeware)

Webpage: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
32-bit: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.zip
64-bit: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd-x64.zip

To turn off the monitor, execute "nircmd.exe monitor off"
The monitor will "sleep", and pressing a key or mouse button will wake it up again.

You may only distribute this with your application if it's freeware, as the license says:

Windows 8 on a tablet? nircmd.exe only works on x86 or x86_64 systems and not the RT edition.

The best way to get this tool to work is to try using it with the command prompt to make sure it works on your system.

When implementing it to your application:
1) Place a copy of nircmd.exe into the same directory as the program.
2) Execute using AppPath$+"\nircmd.exe" and command line "monitor off"
