Not sure what this is. The father of the LCD, George Heileman, was still working at RCA in 1961, have a look at the pocket tv on the cover of the May '63 issue of Mechanix Illustrated to see what they were up to back then. No working prototype of the size in your photo existed then.

What piques my curiosity about this is it reminds me of a technology I read about in a 1950's childrens' science book found in a thrift store. The CRT discussed had the gun at the far end of an asymmetrical envelope, a physical appearance similat to one of those melted beer bottle ashtrays or a Sony Walkman CRT.
