That's correct. LCD displays don't flicker - the display remains absolutely static, with zero flickering, for as long as power is applied. As you say, the refresh rate of an LCD screen is purely to allow video, etc, to be displayed smoothly. It doesn't in itself make the display flicker. However, the LED backlighting that LCD displays use can flicker (normally at the mains frequency of 50/60Hz).
