Recalled slave interrupting that woman to update display? (7)

I believe the answer is:

refresh

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'update display?' is the definition.
'refresh' can be an answer for 'update' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'display?' bit.

'recalled slave interrupting that woman' is the wordplay.
'recalled' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'slave' becomes 'serf' (I've seen this before).
'interrupting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'that woman' becomes 'her' (I've seen this before**).
'serf' inserted into 'her' is 'hserfer'.
'hserfer' written backwards gives 'REFRESH'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for refresh that I've seen before include "Give new vigour to" , "Jog" , "Stimulate as by reminding, or top up drink" , "Invigorate, make new again" , "Reinvigorate" .)
