What is the technical name for the old fashioned thing that people changed clothes behind?

You see it in older or old time setting movies, for example- Pirates of the Caribbean (when Elizabeth changed behind that 'thing'). I just don't know what the technical name is. Thanks.

I've heard them called both:
room dividers
and
privacy screens
Not sure if those are considered technical names though.
