In order for a DisplayLink device work with a modern version of macOS, 'Screen Recording' permission must be granted to the DisplayLink Manager Application.

It is because this permission has been granted that you are receiving the 'Your screen is being observed' message.

To be clear, nothing is actually being recorded. The permission is necessary so that the DisplayLink Manager Application can access the information it needs in order to generate the image shown on the DisplayLink-connected displays.

Thank you for your suggestion rboerner. Also this article says same. Mainly screen sharing or recording is on, sometimes this kind of error message shows. But I followed the methods step by steps which mentioned in the article and shut down my PC. After that I did not get such kind of unknown message.
