An article by EDWARD W. HEROLD in the Proceedings of the IEEE, Vol 64, No. 9, Sept. 1976 says that it was introduced in 1953 and only had limited production in 1954. It doesn't say that production ceased after that, but they seem to imply it.

The article is called "A History of Color Television Displays." I don't think I'll have any luck, but I'll see if they'll let me post it.
