It's not - it's a matter of physics. A pixel on an LCD screen does not repeatedly dim and need to be refreshed again, as the phosphor on a CRT does. The backlight behind the screen is shining with a constant brightness - it's not flickering. They used to flicker, in the "old days" when LCD screens had fluorescent backlights, but these days LCD screens have LED backlights, which have a constant light output.
