Narrative:
While in the climb out at approximately 28400; the autopilot disengaged while simultaneously the captain's pfd and mfd lost all indications. I transferred control of the aircraft to the first officer. We stopped the climb and descended out of rvsm. The amber; IRS fault light along with the master caution; IRS; lights had illuminated. I ran the corresponding QRH checklist for the IRS fault. We operated with the IRS selector switch in both on right. I established a radio patch with dispatch and a subsequent conference call with maintenance. We discussed what had happened and the possibility of diverting. I ruled that with the loss of redundant attitude; airspeed; and altitude indications; the continuation did not seem like the best plan of action. We [advised ATC] and diverted. The landing was uneventful and normal.
