Flying LADYJ 2 RNAV Departure in VNAV; we allowed aircraft to accelerate to climb speed at 10;000 ft instead of adhering to 250 knot restriction until notified by ATC. Passing approximately 12;000 ft; SoCal notified us of the airspeed deviation. We pre-briefed the departure and were prepared to comply with the airspeed restriction. As a technique; I will manually place 250 in the 10;000 ft climb to protect airspeed restriction or manually select Level Change; such as XXX restrictions. I failed to do so this night due to distractions and attempts to get our 'push' clearance. Also; I had expanded the departure page diagram to better see the page at night which actually hid the departure airspeed restriction resulting in a 296 KIAS climb above 10;000 ft.This was nothing more than a typical human factors error. I was distracted out of my habit pattern as we neared our push time waiting for the numbers and excess traffic which occurs around our LAX gates. Also; lack of recent flying departures to the north may have caused me to mentally blank the restriction even after I briefed it during preflight. Can the FMC be programmed to comply with such airspeed restrictions as a backup whereby we would be able to select ECON when cleared by ATC? It is a published restriction.
We were flying the LADYJ 2 RNAV Departure out of LAX. It has a speed restriction of 'MAINTAIN AT OR BELOW 250 KNOTS UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED BY ATC.' I had the LADYJ 2 Departure displayed on my EFB but had the view expanded where the speed restriction was not in view. VNAV was selected passing 3000 ft AGL so after passing 10;000 ft MSL; the aircraft accelerated to normal climb speed. When ATC gave us a frequency change they advised us that in the future maintain 250 knots until assigned normal speed.
B737 Captain and First Officer reported exceeding a speed restriction on departure after reconfiguring their EFB display and inadvertently hiding the published airspeed restriction from view.
