  "2048x2048 resolution, the display refreshes at 120Hz with 10 microsecond latency"
  
  Finally a replacement for CRT!

  "slicing the substrate such that the wafer is only about 100 angstroms thick"
  
  100 angstroms is 10nm. There's no way to slice anything this thin. The thinnest wafer I've heard of is about a micron thick.

  I suspect the true process is a trade secret and one that is closely protected as such technologies have national security value.

  It could be a 10 nm Si layer on a SOI wafer, where they remove the carrier wafer and have 2 - 3 µm of SiO2 as "buffer" for the thinning.

  Welps, this kind of display technology is several years away from regular consumer technology. But when the time comes, it sure would be quite nice.
  
  Who knows, maybe on the third generation of (current) VR headsets this thing might be around, or at least something with half the ppi (which would be quite good already).
