I can load a view with $view = Views::getView('my_view_id');, but how do I use that object to load the display_title or say an array containing information including the display name?
Note: This is not to be confused with loading the display's title that might be used when printing the view, as there's a method for that (getTitle()).
After reading throug the docs (https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core!modules!views!src!ViewExecutable.php/class/ViewExecutable/8), I tried the following (which worked):
$view = \Drupal\views\Views::getView('your_view_id');
$view->setDisplay('your_display_id');
$displayObj = $view->getDisplay();
//$displayPluginTitle = $displayObj->pluginTitle()->render();
//$displayTitle = $displayObj->getOption('title');
$displayName = $displayObj->display['display_title'];
N.B.1: I use the render function on a TranslatableMarkup object, this is what the pluginTitle function returns. It could be possible to use other functions there, like, e.g. getUntranslatedString
N.B.2: I misunderstood the OP. :-) Commented out the faulty part of the code, which returns the display plugin's title, and not the display's title as requested.
N.B.3: I misunderstood the OP. AGAIN! :-) Commented out the faulty part of the code, which returns the title of the display, and not the display's name as requested. To my defense, that property is labeled 'Display name' and its name 'display_title' (as was mentioned in the OP).

And a test script that gets the title of the display (with the output):
Cheers!
The following code depends on the ctools_views module.
$view = \Drupal\views\Views::getView('your_view_id');
$view->setDisplay('your_display_id');
$displayObj = $view->getDisplay();
$displayName = $displayObj->display['display_title'];
To get the display title only requires the following code.
$view = \Drupal\views\Views::getView('your_view_id');
$view->setDisplay('your_display_id');
$displayName = $view->getTitle();
