Airplay is a protocol made by apple and can only used by their products. you are able to mirror your content wirelessly and it's pretty easy.
dlna is an open protocal and is often integrated in modern lcd tvs. but you can only share videos and picture. no mirroring or other cool stuff.
there is a new standard coming, called miracast. its a combination of airplay and dlna. it's open and free. will be integrated in the next gen tvs. mirroring will be possible and the best part is, it is more or less lag free.
