Optical elements (130) are attached to a support film (110) at select locations, the select locations corresponding to locations of light emitting elements (140) on another substrate, e.g. the substrate of the title (150). The film is placed on the substrate containing the light emitting elements such that the optical elements are in contact with their corresponding light emitting elements. The optical elements are laminated to the light emitting elements, and the support film is removed. The optical elements may include wavelength conversion elements, lens elements, combinations of elements, and so on. Other elements, such as conductors and reflectors may also be positioned on the laminate film.
