It is a new term for an old thing. In the field of ANN's (Artificial Neural Networks) / CI (Computational Intelligence) we used to classify NN's in several ways but one way was SLP vs MLP. SLP is Single Layer Perceptron and MLP is Multilayer Perceptron. SLP has inputs, one set of weights and outputs. MLPs have inputs, outputs and multiple weight layers and hidden neuron layers inbetween. Now, MLPs with lots of hidden layers are called Deep Learning.

There have been some new advances in neural architecture such as convolution neural networks, but you can create a straight MLP to do the same thing. The main thing with CNN is that they are likely to learn faster and it gives you effectively a way of training multiple neural networks and averaging them together in one network which is also not a new idea.
