LCD screens don't flicker. Each pixel on an active-matrix LCD display maintains a constant light output from one addressing cycle to the next. That's why LCD screens are normally only refreshed about 60 times a second, compared to the higher refresh rates required for CRT displays, where the light output does "decay" between refresh cycles, and a high refresh rate is necessary to avoid flicker.
