So... why do they have to flash BLACK and then turn some white. Why can't they flash WHITE, and then turn some of them black. That would certainly make for a far more esthetically pleasing experience.
I'm sure there's a reason, but still, curiosity and the cat...

Actually the screen isn't flashing black. It's inverting. The reason you mostly notice the black is because there is usually more white in the regular image.
