Claim 0:
1. A mirror assembly comprising:
a housing portion;
a generally circular mirror coupled with the housing portion;
a light source disposed at a periphery of the mirror;
a substantially circular light pipe having a length and being positioned around at least a portion of the periphery of the mirror; and
a light scattering region disposed along the length of the light pipe, the light scattering region comprising a plurality of light scattering elements having a pattern density determined by spatially varying the light scattering elements, the light scattering region configured to encourage a portion of the light impacting the light scattering elements to be emitted out of the light pipe and toward a user of the mirror, the pattern density of light scattering elements being less dense in a region near the light source and the pattern density of light scattering elements being greater in a region generally opposite the light source along the periphery of the mirror, thereby facilitating a substantially constant amount of light emitted along the length of the light pipe.
