  Ironically, there exists a technology to make flatscreen CRTs, with all
the advantages of CRT (such as contrast) with less of the disadvantages
(such as distortion, misalignment, etc). The basic idea is that there's
one (static) electron ray per pixel. (Well, three, one for each color
component.)

  For some reason the technology has never been commercialized, even though
it could potentially be feasible.
