How did Apple implement the Amber/Green Charge Ring?

I was looking around for photos of how they implemented they did that charge ring on the powerbooks.

I was curious how they were able to get such uniform light around the ring.

Anyone know or know of a link to a site with dismantled pictures of that subsystem?

Energizer have a bright uniform red band around their battery displays.
Guess what? They use no batteries nor any kind of power.
They use a light pipe that gathers and intensifies the light from ceiling lights.
