The term refers to a type projection screen made from fabric containing small amounts of silver, which gives it a dull gray look. They are better suited for low power projection (or over long distances such as a movie theater) but don't provide as great an angle of view as the white screen. I bought one many years ago for projecting my slides, and sometimes referred to it by it's other name, the lenticular screen. People used to refer to the motion picture industry or local cinema as "the silver screen".
