Good question. The new Instrument rating PTS released last month address
this very issue.


What does it say about it?

"Modern technology has introduced into aviation a new method of displaying
flight instruments, such as Electronic Flight Instrument Systems,
Integrated Flight Deck displays, and others. For the purpose of the
practical test standards, any flight instrument display that utilizes LCD
or picture tube like displays will be referred to as “Electronic Flight
Instrument Display.” Aircraft equipped with this technology may or may not
have separate backup flight instruments installed. The abnormal or
emergency procedure for loss of the electronic flight instrument display
appropriate to the aircraft will be evaluated in the Loss of Primary
Instruments TASK. The loss of the primary electronic flight instrument
display must be tailored to failures that would normally be encountered in
the aircraft. If the aircraft is capable, total failure of the electronic
flight instrument display, or a supporting component, with access only to
the standby flight instruments or backup display shall be evaluated".
