Narrative:

Today I got a clearance from monterey ground; given mry 9 rwy 28L departure as filed. Looked in GPS and found mry 9 but didn't see 28L; questioned ground; they advised I see MRY9 10L/right not 28L and request that they read me the departure procedure. [The controller] seemed to think it was an unreasonable request. I kept looking and found mry 9 28L departure; GPS gave headings and not altitudes. So I requested he read it to me again. He then requested [I] look up the obstacle clearance departure procedure; which I did; I took off runway heading in visual conditions; departure procedure says climb 800 or 1;700: I was at approximately 1;100 ft; I was initiating a turn and I was asked to contact departure [who] requested 076 (I think) then as I passed 1;700 they gave me direct sns. My primary flight display failed therefore I focused on flying the airplane until I could pull the breakers and re-set it. Before sns I was taking on ice (I turned on de-ice prop; wings etc.); and flying on back-up instruments until the pfd re-set itself. Passing 7;000 ft I was asked to call mry tower which I did. To keep this from happening again [I plan to] keep paper departure procedures handy. Please accept this as a report on a pfd failure.

Title: PA46 pilot experiences PFD failure during departure from MRY in IMC. The reporter was unable to correctly fly the departure procedure due to this failure and the lack of printed charts.
