Some early flat screen TVs used cathode ray tubes, but the flat faced tubes were harder to make and heaver than the older curved faced tubes. When newer designs (e.g. plasma, LCD, LED) came out that naturally produced flat screens and were lighter weight than cathode ray tubes, they rapidly made flat screen cathode ray tube TVs obsolete.
