I would say Continuous deployment is one of the steps of a continuous delivery system. There is a very enlightening blog written by Martin Fowler from thoughtworks on Continuous *(Integration,Delivery , testing) etc. I would suggest you read through it to understand it.

There are a lot of facets to the entire Continuous * Ecosystem( Build,integration,testing,deploy,UAT, delivery,) that cannot be covered in a single comment/answer thread. It surely deserves its own space on a blog/wiki/bliki. You should probably read a few blogs and search for understanding there.

Continuous delivery is a series of practices designed to ensure that code can be rapidly and safely deployed to production by delivering every change to a production-like environment and ensuring business applications and services function as expected through rigorous automated testing. Since every change is delivered to a staging environment using complete automation, you can have confidence the application can be deployed to production with a push of a button when the business is ready.

Continuous deployment is the next step of continuous delivery: Every change that passes the automated tests is deployed to production automatically. Continuous deployment should be the goal of most companies that are not constrained by regulatory or other requirements.
