Narrative:
I was the pilot flying (captain). We were cleared for take-off. Initial power up and take-off roll went as normal. At roughly 75-80 knots both of my du's (display units) went blank. I instantly executed a rejected take-off. We could have easily cleared the runway at taxiway D but I elected to continue to east and then stop on a taxiway; with tower's permission we stopped on a taxiway to evaluate the situation.as I said before both captain du's went blank just before or right at 80 kias. As I was fully into the rejection they both returned as pfd's. After exiting; I cycled the reversionary panel and returned the du's to normal. We then accomplished the appropriate QRH; checked circuit breakers; went back through the mcdu made sure all of that data was re-entered properly. Everything seemed normal and safe at that point. I called mx to run things by them and to get their take on things. Both mx and I and the first officer (first officer) agreed that it would be safe to make a second attempt at take-off. Mx and I also agreed that holding the brakes at take-off power for a few seconds would be prudent to insure everything could then proceed as normal.we informed ATC of our intent to hold on the runway for a few seconds; and were cleared for take-off. That power-up and take-off went as normal and the rest of the flight proceeded without incident.

Title: The Flight crew of an Embraer EMB-175 reported that both Display Units went blank during takeoff roll.
Narrative: I was the pilot flying (Captain). We were cleared for take-off. Initial power up and take-off roll went as normal. At roughly 75-80 knots both of my DU's (Display Units) went blank. I instantly executed a rejected take-off. We could have easily cleared the runway at taxiway D but I elected to continue to E and then stop on A taxiway; With tower's permission we stopped on A taxiway to evaluate the situation.As I said before both Captain DU's went blank just before or right at 80 kias. As I was fully into the rejection they both returned as PFD's. After exiting; I cycled the reversionary panel and returned the DU's to normal. We then accomplished the appropriate QRH; checked circuit breakers; went back through the MCDU made sure all of that data was re-entered properly. Everything seemed normal and safe at that point. I called MX to run things by them and to get their take on things. Both MX and I and the FO (First Officer) agreed that it would be safe to make a second attempt at take-off. MX and I also agreed that holding the brakes at take-off power for a few seconds would be prudent to insure everything could then proceed as normal.We informed ATC of our intent to hold on the runway for a few seconds; and were cleared for take-off. That power-up and take-off went as normal and the rest of the flight proceeded without incident.
