Motorola saw where the real money was: Government contracts.
Seeing the writing on the phosphor, Motorola left the consumer electronics market, and sold it to Matsushita, giving the Quasar tradename (originally a line of color TV sets) to become the tradename for Matsushita products.
In the long run, they determined that the Panasonic brand carried more clout.
(EDIT). This is also why if you are looking through the Photofact directory for a Motorola TV from the 1950s, you need to look under Quasar.
